Here are important updates and reminders to keep our community running smoothly.

Snow Removal Reminders

Who Clears What?

• City of Colorado Springs: Plows public streets in BLR (outside The Retreat). Visit coloradosprings.gov/snow for details.
• Metro District (via Landscape Endeavors): Clears designated sidewalks, paths, and District-maintained areas. Courts (pickleball/tennis) will be locked during snow events and reopened once surfaces are safe.
• Homeowners: Responsible for areas not serviced by the District, following City requirements.

Helpful Tips: Please park in garages or driveways during storms so crews can work safely and efficiently.

Tree Project Reminder for Village #1 Residents 

District No. 2 is collaborating with Heidrich’s Colorado Tree Farm Nursery for the annual tree project again in Spring 2026! Residents can fill out a request form for tree(s) and Timberline Management and Consulting will help to distribute the trees ordered. Residents are responsible for the cost of removal of current tree(s) and installation of new tree(s).

Please reach out to Shanda Flores at Timberline (blr@timberline-co.com) for questions about this project.

Landscape Maintenance Updates

March will be the quietest month of the year for landscape maintenance. Landscape Endeavors will be finishing up with the last of the residential cleanups/cutbacks by the week of March 9th.  The Retreat is the only area they are still working through, otherwise, all common areas have been completed.  Once that is concluded, daily winter site policing and trash detail will be the only service continuing on a daily basis until April when tree wrapping and normal, weekly mowing occurrences will begin again.  Pre-emergent application for all landscape beds was completed the week of February 23rd.

Beginning Monday, March 2nd, Landscape Endeavors will doing grass cutbacks and spring cleanups of residential properties throughout The Retreat.

Communication from Timberline Regarding Parking Enforcement 

Dear Retreat Homeowners,

It has been brought to our attention that there is some confusion regarding parking within The Retreat, and we would like to provide clarification.

The roadways within The Retreat are private roadways. Per the community guidelines, all residents are required to park in their garage or driveway (if applicable) at all times. Street parking is not permitted.

We understand there may be occasional circumstances where you have guests or need to park on the street temporarily. In those situations, we ask that you please notify us in advance so we can make a note of it and avoid issuing a violation notice.

The District maintains a towing agreement with Bugs Towing, which will remain in effect. Vehicles observed parked on the street will be tagged with an orange notice that indicates vehicles are subject to towing. If we do not hear from the vehicle's owner within 24 hours of tagging, Bugs Towing is authorized to proceed with removal. Please note that all costs associated with towing are at the owner's expense.

We have received multiple parking-related complaints and want to ensure that everyone is adhering to the established community guidelines, so The Retreat remains well-maintained and an enjoyable place to live.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding. Please reach out if you have any questions.

Sincerely, The Timberline Covenant Control Team

Other Helpful Reminders

Trash Cans: Trash and recycling bins must be placed away from electrical boxes and any other obstructions on collection days. 

• Keeping bins clear of these areas helps ensure:
• Safe access for utility crews and service providers
• Efficient trash and recycling collection
• Protection of neighborhood infrastructure

Pet Waste: Please remember to clean up after your pets while enjoying our community. Recently, pet waste has been left in common areas and green spaces, and keeping these areas clean is a shared responsibility. Pet owners are expected to carry waste bags, promptly clean up after their pets, and dispose of waste in designated trash receptacles. Thank you for helping keep our neighborhood clean, healthy, and welcoming for everyone.
