Veteran of the Year. Community Resources. Snow and ice removal utilizes all employees of the Highway Division and all plows, graders, and chemical trucks to keep County roads safe and passable. The Adopt-a-Road program is a partnership with citizens. Participating citizens agree to pick up litter from both sides of a two-mile stretch of a County road at least four times a year. Crack sealing is completed from October to May because temperature plays a significant part in proper application.
A crack sealing maintenance schedule is followed to assist with upkeep of roads during those months. Every paved road in El Paso County has cracks, the only exceptions to that are the roads that were paved in the last few weeks. By this time next year, those roads will have cracks as well. Asphalt like concrete tends to shrink as it ages, causing it to crack.
In a perfect world a crew would come out right away, fill the crack with a rubber-like material that will prevent moisture from getting in under the road surface causing a soft spot and an eventual pothole. Crack sealing needs to be preformed when the ground temperature is around 40 degrees, this is the time when the asphalt has contracted due to the cold and the cracks are at their widest.
Crack sealing cannot be completed when the ground is wet since the material will not stick. If the work is done in warmer weather, the cracks will expand enough that when the weather cools off the material will not stretch enough and will split, ruining the seal.
Another warm weather problem is that the material takes too long to set. The sticky material then either forces the crew to keep the road closed for a longer period of time, or if traffic gets on to the material too soon it sticks to tires, ruins the job and creates a tremendous mess. The mastic is like conventional crack seal except it has grit like material mixed in with it.
It is used specifically on cracks wider than 1. County crews are seeing some promising results on the wide cracks that they have not been able to repair with the conventional material. Animals that will be removed include cat-size creatures and larger. Regulated livestock, such as cattle and horses, will be removed from the roadway, and the brand inspector will be notified if the owner is not known.
Prioritization of dead animal removal is to remove animals from the lanes of travel as soon as personnel can be dispatched. Animals that are not in the roadway are normally removed within one working day of reporting, and those reported Thursday through Sunday or on holidays are collected on the following regular work day. Each Service Request is reviewed by personnel, prioritized and scheduled for completion. Prioritization of these requests is determined on potential threat to public safety or continued damage to public or private property.
A maintenance schedule is followed to assist with upkeep of roads. The decisions of when ditches will be cleaned and which culverts will be flushed will be based on the number of service requests taken, maintenance costs, average condition of each road, existing surfacing and staff recommendations. Those ditches are then prioritized by severity of need and available resources. Due to the large number of ditches in El Paso County, it may take some time for a request to make it to the top of the maintenance list.
Please provide a location and the type of trash. Every effort is made to identify illegal dumpers, and if found, they will be referred to law enforcement for legal action.

The median can be a natural area, a landscaped area or be hardscaped with manmade structures such as signs or barriers. The Right-of-Way ROW of the road is the total width of property that has been dedicated for a given roadway. ROWs may be developed or undeveloped and may include trees, fences, signs and drainage structures to name a few examples.
