To improve internet speeds, increase service reliability, and expand access to modern digital services, fiber-optic infrastructure will be installed starting in summer 2026.
- Intrepid Fiber, a Colorado-based company, will complete the installation.
- Intrepid has considerable experience installing fiber networks in communities across the state.
- The Town will monitor the installation.
- Intrepid and/or the Town will keep residents informed about work that impacts their property.
Note that all work will occur in the Town’s right of way:
- What is the Town’s right of way? The right of way is land reserved for public use and access. In Columbine Valley, where there are no sidewalks, the Town’s right of way generally extends approximately 3 feet beyond the edge of the gutter pan into what may appear to be a resident’s yard. While homeowners often maintain this area as part of their landscaping, it remains public property.
- Why does the Town have a right of way? The right of way allows the Town and utility providers to safely access and maintain essential infrastructure such as streets, drainage, water and sewer lines, and underground utilities. From time to time, the Town may need to perform maintenance, repairs, or improvements within this area to ensure public safety and reliable services for everyone. In some cases, this may impact resident-installed features such as landscaping and irrigation. For complete details, click here.
