Bond Sale Completed to Fund Higby Road Improvements
We’re excited to announce that the $12.6 million bond sale was completed on July 31, 2025, with a net interest cost of 5.05% to fund the highly anticipated improvements to Higby Road. By using existing revenue streams to make the bond payments we will not need to raise our residents taxes. Instead, annual payments of approximately $825,000 will be covered through existing revenue sources, including sales tax, the operations and maintenance mill levy, and developer contributions.
The bond proceeds will be used to widen and improve Higby Road, and construction will occur in two phases:
- Phase One, beginning in September, will cover a 3,600-foot (two-thirds of a mile) segment from Bowstring Road to a point just east of the intersection of Higby Road and Harness.
- Phase Two will improve an additional 1,800 feet (one-third of a mile), extending west from Bowstring Road
to Jackson Creek Parkway. This phase is targeted for completion by fall 2026.
And there is more good news — prior to the sale, S&P Global Ratings upgraded the district’s credit rating from A- to A, which is a testament to our strong fiscal management and ultimately helped lower the interest we must pay when borrowing money. We appreciate the continued support of our residents and local businesses. These improvements will enhance safety, ease traffic flow and support our community for years to come.
Back to School: Watch for Students!
It’s that time of year again! Lewis-Palmer School District #38 will be back in session starting mid-August, and that means more young pedestrians, bikes, buses and parents on the roads — especially during morning and afternoon hours.
As students head back to class, we kindly remind all residents to:
- Slow down in school zones and residential areas
- Watch for children at crosswalks and intersections
- Be alert for bikes and scooters, especially near parks and schools
- Avoid distractions like texting while driving
- Obey school bus stop arms and flashing red lights — it’s the law
Your attention and caution help ensure a safe return to school for all our young community members. Let’s work together to keep our community safe and welcoming as we start a new school year.
A New Era for Parks, Trails & Open Spaces
Over the past few years, Triview Metro District has made tremendous strides in improving our parks, trails and open spaces —
creating more inviting, functional and beautiful community assets for all residents to enjoy. From brand new parks to thoughtful upgrades across the district, these completed projects reflect our commitment to enhancing quality of life and outdoor enjoyment.
Sanctuary Park
Our newest addition, Sanctuary Park, officially opened in May 2024. Spanning eight acres, the park includes scenic walking trails, a covered pergola and a five-acre artificial turf field designed for soccer, lacrosse and other field sports.
Developed in partnership with Classic Homes and funded through parks and open space fees collected from building permits, Sanctuary Park is a testament to collaborative planning and thoughtful growth. This is the 11th park in our district.
To allow Sanctuary neighborhood residents time to enjoy the park amenities peacefully, the park is closed to all organized sports and events on Sundays.
Completed Park & Trail Improvements
In addition to Sanctuary Park, we’ve completed key upgrades throughout the district:
- A new trail connects Kettle Valley and St. Lawrence Way, nicknamed by the team as the “Triview Incline.”
- Burke Hollow Park has a new playground structure and shade pergola, providing children with a safer, more engaging play environment and relief from the sun.
- A new shade structure was added to Train Park in late June, giving visitors a comfortable place to relax and gather.
- In Paiute Park, drainage was improved around the mailboxes to address icy conditions in winter. A new concrete sidewalk has replaced the older, crushed-asphalt trail, improving accessibility and safety year-round.
- At Old Creek Park, we replaced outdated playground equipment, upgrading the park for a better and safer experience for children of all ages.
- Agate Park now includes a new trail connection to Homeplace Ranch. Other improvements include:
- A new ADA-compliant concrete walkway from Agate Creek to the trail
- Stabilizing boulders placed to reinforce the new path
- Rebuilt irrigation systems that were disrupted during construction
- Installation of xeriscape landscaping, including ornamental grasses, cobbles and drip irrigation for sustainable, low-maintenance beauty
The Triview Metro District parks team continues to maintain and beautify our outdoor spaces, including tree and shrub replacements where needed, and seasonal preparation efforts to ensure every park is ready for high usage during warmer months.
The improvements completed across the district represent an investment in the health, recreation and well-being of our community. Whether you’re walking your dog on a trail, watching a game from under a pergola, or enjoying a quiet moment at one of our upgraded parks, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. We encourage you to explore all of our parks and let us know what you think. Email us your feedback at info@triviewmetro.com to help us plan the next phase of improvements with your needs in mind.
Help Us Protect Our Parks & Open Spaces
Motorized bikes, dirt bikes and other unauthorized vehicles cause serious damage to both natural areas and the synthetic turf field. Spinning, skidding or aggressive riding on synthetic turf leaves permanent “burn” marks that are costly to repair. For the safety of all visitors and the health of our environment, motorized vehicles are strictly prohibited in any park or open space, including the synthetic field. Violators could be subject to prosecution. Thank you for your cooperation and for respecting your fellow community members.
