Spring is almost here. The weather will begin warming up and daffodils, tulips, and other flowers will soon make their appearance. The Sterling Ranch Community Authority Board (CAB) is hard at work installing public infrastructure and other improvements. Here are a few highlights.

Many might be wondering what is being constructed at the southwest corner of Titan and Moore Roads. CAB along with its partner, Mile High Flood Control District, is completing drainage improvements including a concrete spillway, 3 drop structures, a channel, a detention pond, large boulder riprap, and native grasses. These drainage improvements will tie into the existing drop structure and move water under Titan Road. The expanded drainage is necessary to accommodate additional water flows from the new home construction area south of Sterling Ranch Avenue and the future Waterton Road. The improvements to the drainage started in late summer and will conclude in the coming months.

The CAB in conjunction with Douglas County has made significant progress on the connection of Waterton Road between Moore and Rampart Range Roads. In January, the bridge girders were placed and in February, the bridge deck was poured. The Waterton Road Connection is slated to open to vehicular traffic in Fall 2022. Click below to see a timelapse of the bridge girders being installed.

Concurrently with the Waterton Road connection, Moore Road is being tied into Airport Road in preparation for the connection of Waterton Road. Moore Road will be closed through May, except for business traffic. Upon completion, Moore Road will be expanded and improved to accommodate additional vehicular traffic. See the Denver 7 news segment highlighting the project here. For more information, click here.

Many of you have probably noticed earthwork occurring southeast of the future Waterton Road and Sterling Ranch Avenue intersection. This area is currently being over excavated (ox) in preparation for approximately 350 future Richmond American Homes. Following the ox, grading will begin. The lot development for these homes should be complete in late 2022.

The CAB staff and the committees have been working diligently to prepare for improvements to The Overlook pool. Specifically, additional pool furniture has been selected and shade structures evaluated. While we have budgeted and ordered additional pool furniture, due to the supply chain, it is unlikely the additional furnishings will arrive prior to the pool opening Memorial Day weekend. As soon as the items arrive, they will be placed at the pool, until then, residents are encouraged to bring their sling chairs to be assured pool seating. Please see the article below an update from the Resident Advisory Committee on the shade structures.

Shifting to other news, it is election season for Sterling Ranch Colorado Metropolitan Districts (SRCMD) No. 2 and 3. Currently, the residences in Sterling Ranch are located within SRCMD No. 2 or 3 – click here to see the district map to find your district. Each district will be holding a board member election and the registered voters within the district will elect the board members. Campaigning is underway and CAB is hosting two Meet the Candidates sessions in March. These informal sessions will be a mix and mingle style with refreshments so that voters can stop in and meet those running for office. Please consider attending. CAB staff will also be on hand to meet residents.

March 21^st and 23^rd

Ballots will be mailed to registered voters within the respective SRCMDs between April 11^th – 18^th.

We are looking forward to the thawed ground so construction can resume, and the landscaping can show its beauty. Thank you for reading the first edition of What’s the Scoop.

Please be mindful that the basketball area is in a shared space with business traffic flowing through the parking lot. We look forward to seeing everyone gathering to play.
