Woodmen and Powers Intersection Now Has A Bridge!

If you live in Colorado Springs, you know that Woodmen Rd. is the only “real” East/West thoroughfare, and Powers Blvd. is one of the only “real” North/South thoroughfares (2nd only to I-25). You will also know that the intersection of Woodmen Road and Powers Boulevard has been a construction nightmare for months … I remember being stuck in traffic at that one particular intersection for over a 1/2 hour, on more than one occasion! UGH!

Well, as of the wee hours of this morning (Dec. 4, 2007), Southbound Powers travelers now have the luxury of avoiding the intersection at Woodmen all together, as the first part of the new bridge has opened to traffic!

You better believe that we are excited!

On my way from my northeastern Colorado Springs home this morning, I headed Northbound on Powers, where I saw some of the very first cars driving over the new bridge. My trip home involved making SURE I got to drive over the new bridge. And how liberated I felt that I was able to avoid that intersection!

City Planners have said that the dead center of Colorado Springs (in 2025) will be the intersection of Woodmen and Powers, so it is awesome that they are making Powers an On-Ramp/Off Ramp type of road/highway, now. Planners also say that the complete intersection will be done sometime in 2009, but (for once) we may get it done earlier!

This newly designed intersection is such great news for the Colorado Springs Real Estate Market, as most new home communities in Colorado Springs (Stetson Hills, Wolf Ranch, Cumbre Vista, Wagon Trails and Briargate) are accessed by either Woodmen or Powers. A more effective road design will make driving and living in Colorado Springs much easier!

Woodmen Vistas – Update on New Pikes Peak Habitat for Humanity Neighborhood in N/E Colorado Springs, CO

This is an update to my previous post: New Habitat for Humanity Neighborhood at N. Powers Blvd. and E. Woodmen Rd. (Colorado Springs, CO).

• Woodmen Vistas will consist of about 10 acres and 67 home sites. This land will be combination effort of two organizations: Pikes Peak Habitat for Humanity and Rocky Mountain Community Land Trust.
• Rocky Mountain Community Land Trust will have the other 5 acres and have various plans for that land that include:
  • 11 Low Income Houses for families living at or below 80% of the City’s mean income. These homes will be mortgaged for the amount of the home only – not the land that it sits on.
  • Moving in 5 pre-existing homes to Woodmen Vistas
  • Possible sale of several lots to other home builders
• Pikes Peak Habitat for Humanity will have about 5 of those acres dedicated to homes for families living at or below 50% of the city’s mean income.
  • These homes will be developed, built and mortgaged by PPHFH.
  • Families that qualify for a PPHFH Home will help build the home and will get a zero-interest mortgage for the appraised value of the home, but only be held to the actual COST of the home. This means that if the home COST $100,000 to build and it appraised at $200,000, the purchase price would be $200,000 but the homeowner would only make payments on a $100,000 zero-interest loan. Once the $100,000 was paid off the remaining difference between the appraised value and COST would be forgiven.
    This ensures that the homeowner would remain a homeowner and for neighboring appraisal purposes, market value would be retained.
  • A family that owns a PPHFH home would not be able to sell the home for a profit at any point. If, for some reason, the homeowner HAD to sell the home, PPHFH would have 1st Right of Refusal. The mission of PPHFH is for low income families to reap the benefits of home ownership – not to exploit the purpose of PPHFH for monetary gain. In fact, over 98% of all Habitat for Humanity Homeowners remain in their home and never sell.
• Woodmen Vistas WILL have an HOA. Plans are in place that would have the HOA maintain the front yards, take care of the trash removal. These plans are still being drafted.
• All the streets in Woodmen Vistas will be city streets and maintained by the City of Colorado Springs.
• Children living in Woodmen Vistas would attend Academy School District 20 Schools.
• PPHFH plans to “break ground” in Spring 2008. (Rocky Mountain Community Land Trust may begin earlier than that.)
• If all goes as planned, the new Woodmen Vistas neighborhood will be complete by 2011.
• This neighborhood will be the largest PPHFH development to this date.

• If you are interested in donating, they are always in need of QUALITY BUILDING SUPPLIES.
• If you are interested in sponsoring a Habitat for Humanity home, the sponsor fee is about $55,000 per house. Local real estate companies, churches and other coalitions have co-sponsored several homes in Colorado Springs already, but there is always need for more sponsors.
• If you are interested in volunteering, PPHFH is in great need of a Licensed Labor force: Electricians, Plumbers, Cement and Curb pourers, and laborers for ditching among others are in high demand.
