ROAD SAFETY PROJECT

October 1, 2026 – Prado Valley One HOA would like to thank all the HOA and Non-HOA households who use our neighborhood roads for their donations. Your contributions are highly appreciated!

The HOA will be performing ongoing road improvement projects within the HOA boundaries. Please note that these improvements are limited to available funds. We prioritize all road improvements based on safety first, followed by the volume of vehicle traffic on each road.

Completed Projects:

Note: Signage, aggregate, and aggregate delivery were paid from the HOA road fund. Road work labor, equipment, and fuel were donated by individual HOA members at no cost to the HOA.

  1. Installed speed bumps with caution signs on Fort Delfina Rd.
  2. Installed “One Lane Roads and Bridges” signage on Bean Creek Rd.
  3. Spread 2 loads of road base on Bean Creek Rd.
  4. Installed roadside reflectors and painted Bean Creek bridge curbs.
  5. Widened the entry to Bean Creek Rd to improve drainage.
  6. Dragged Bean Creek Rd and Buffalo Trail to reduce bumps and washboards.
  7. Improved bar ditches and filled in erosion on Buffalo Trail and Rocky Bluff Dr.
  8. Improved the Rocky Bluff Dr. approach where Rocky Bluff Dr. crosses the arroyo.
  9. Improved Rocket Launch Rd drainage and repaired erosion damage caused by Kinetic Fiber trenching.
  10. Improved Buffalo Trail drainage issues caused by Kinetic Fiber trenching.

Future Projects:

  1. Repair erosion damage and improve drainage on Rocky Bluff Dr., east of Pinion Rd.
  2. Widen and improve drainage on Rocket Launch Rd.
  3. Further widen the Bean Creek Rd entry (potentially improving the entry and drainage with crushed asphalt).

Can You Help?

One of our HOA’s biggest challenges is finding insured or bonded, low-cost excavation and grading contractors. If you have a trusted recommendation for a local contractor in the area, please text Michael Stotts at (505) 929-5711.

June 25, 2026 – Road reflectors have been installed on Buffalo Trail and Bean Creek Dr. Additional reflectors will be added as needed . The steel posts surrounding the culvert at the beginning of Bean Creek Dr. have been replaced with new posts and rocks painted yellow to alert drivers of the presence of the culvert. The construction cones in the area have been removed.

The road committee continues to address road grading work for subdivision roads.  The inhibiting issues are: lack of significant rain and availability of contractors and equipment.  The road committee is working to provide base-course material on Bean Creek Dr.  

Gabion work is completed.  Waiting for rain so the team can start back filling between road and gabions.

We will be using rock to mitigate erosion areas and arroyo on Rocky Bluff.

March – June 2026 – Rocky Bluff Road Stabilization & Erosion Control Project Update

HOA volunteers will be distributing rock material on subdivision roads beginning the first week in April, 2026. Road erosion mitigation areas will be prioritized including Rocky Bluff, Buffalo Trail, and Bean Creek Dr. This work will help protect and stabilize eroded areas along the roads and arroyos.

On Friday, March 13 we purchased a dump truck of river rock for this project. On Sunday, March 22 – Several HOA member volunteers including, Mike Stotts, Leonard Valdez, Leah Hardy & Mark Ritchie, Andy McWhirter, Pete Gianniny, and Jack Bassett spent the afternoon hours reinforcing and filling the 32′ Gabion with river rock.

November 15, 2025 – Rocky Bluff Road Stabilization & Erosion Control Project

HOA volunteers installed a 32′ Gabion wall in the arroyo below Rocky Bluff Rd. Todays team of volunteers were: Mike Stotts – appropriating the Gabion material, tractor work, rock hauling, and Gabion assembly; Jack Bassett -backhoe trenching and rock hauling; David Shavor, Andy McWhirter, Mark Ritchie, Leonard and Cindy Valdez – Gabion assembly, rock brigade and shovel work. It was a long day of hard hands on work. Additional time is required to complete the filling of the Gabion with rocks. If you are a community member and would like to volunteer to assist with filling the Gabion, please reach out to an HOA road committee member.

September 2025

    1.  Install speed bumps with caution signs.  We will start on Fort Delfina Rd.  within HOA boundaries and add speed bumps with signage to other roads pending funding availability.  Driving at excessive speeds is unsafe and will damage the roads.  – Completed
    2.  Install “One Lane Roads and Bridges” signage on Bean Creek Rd.  –Completed
    4.  Add additional roadside reflectors on Rocky Bluff –

      Completed

Road Improvement Projects  Ongoing

Note: Grading projects are weather dependent. Grading during dry periods overall will degrade the road. Grading projects and road bar ditch improvements will be performed after rain events.

    1. Grade Bean Creek up to Buffalo Trail.
    2. Cover exposed culvert on Buffalo Trail.  Completed
    3. Improve road drainage, erosion, and bar ditches.  Drainage ditch will reduce the possibility of road washouts that are expensive to repair.
    4. Grade other roads as budgets allow.
