The Roads Committee is responsible for maintenance of our private roads. The cul-de-sacs along which our houses are located are owned and maintained by the HOA. Our main feeder streets, Evans Mountain Drive and Ventana Canyon Drive, are owned by Pima County. The HOA is not responsible for these streets but will notify the county of maintenance and safety requirements and monitor responses.
The Roads Committee (current as of May 2025) is composed of:
- Co-Chairs: Angie Sellers, Ron Steffens
- Members: John Bonner, Angie Sellers, Ron Steffens
Street Seal-Coat Project (2025)
Key Information, including dates when your road/driveway access will be limited to allow the seal-coating to cure, can be found at the Project page and in supporting documents:
In February of 2025 a group of neighbors formed an informal group requesting that the board ask local vendors for inspection and recommendations regarding pavement conditions and localized cracking. At the March Board meeting, this group reported having contacted two potential contractors and, with board support, requested proposals regarding the overall maintenance needs for HOA streets and large cracks developing at the intersection of Ventana Canyon and Cascade Springs.
The group presented their findings, including two contractor proposals, at the April 8, 2025 Board Meeting. The Board approved a proposal from Old Pueblo Sealcoating and board member Angie Sellers was designated as coordinator to finalize the contract and schedule. The work will include filling of major pavement cracks and seal-coating of all HOA streets.
Work will begin at the end of May 2025 and is expected to be completed by early- to mid-June. The links above identify when your street will be affected — and include guidelines that restrict driving over the seal-coating surface during the 24 hours that it is curing. If you already receive announcement emails from the HOA, you will also receive emails if there are any schedule changes.
Private Road Replacement Project (2022) (Complete)
The 35 sections of private roads owned by the Homeowners Association (the cul-de-sacs along which the homes are situated) are over forty years old and were not constructed to modern paving standards. Prior to the Road Replacement Project, the roads were in either “poor” or “failed” condition. Simple re-coating or chip sealing would not fix the roads and would quickly fail.
To read the committee reports and engineering documents regarding the HOA re-pavement, see the Private Road Maintenance Project background reports on the planning process, beginning in 2016. The financing process and road-surface replacement were approved by a vote of the HOA members and were completed in 2022-2023.
County Road Maintenance
The two main thoroughfares to the HOA streets — Evans Mountain Drive and Ventana Canyon Drive to the turn-around — are owned and maintained by Pima County. The HOA has no direct control over the maintenance of these streets. However, the Roads and Landscape Committees regularly inspect these roads and right-of-ways and report serious deficiencies to the county, such as potholes, crumbling of the pavement edges, overgrown vegetation, and traffic safety concerns.
In 2016, neighbors organized a petition to have the county roads repaired. As part of a county-wide initiative, Pima County conducted Pavement Preservation (re-paving) on Evans Mountain Drive and the county section of Ventana Canyon Drive from 2022-2023.
In 2024, concerns about visibility resulted in landscape maintenance by the county along the county right-of-way.
Residents are encouraged to report county street issues via the Pima County See-Click-Fix form and to notify the Roads Committee of questions or concerns at Contact@FoothillsClusters.com.
