The Rustic Hills neighborhood is one of the few remaining neighborhoods in Colorado Springs with primarily dirt roads.

Dirt roads are prone to erosion and wash boarding (when erosion makes roads appear “rippled”). To provide a more resilient surface and assist with ongoing drainage issues, the City has started a phased approach to pave the existing dirt roads in the neighborhood. 

Initial improvements were completed in the neighborhood in 2017. This phase included construction of a full-spectrum pond, installation of stormwater conveyances and a water quality vault, and paving of portions of Brady Road, Payton Circle, and Lazy R Lane.

The next portion the improvements will occur in three phases. The improvements include an upgrade of the existing gas line (performed by Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU)), upgrading the existing waterline (CSU), installation of stormwater conveyances, and paving the remaining roadways. 

Estimated Construction Cost

This project is funded by Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority (PPRTA) maintenance funds.

  1. Phase 1 – $3.1 million
  2. Phase 2 – $1.3 million
  3. Phase 3 - $2.1 million
