With an annual revenue of over $3 million, one would expect HPP should have the best dirt roads of all the private subdivisions. Let's be realistic, there are roads in bad shape that haven't had attention in a long time. Paved roads are deteriorating with no maintenance. All over HPP, there's waist high cane grass growing on the easements onto the asphalt narrowing the lane of traffic. Stop signs are dilapidated making them unsafe.
Actually a lot of people in HPP want their roads paved. The dust is terrible, and if you are lucky to have rock on your road, it's substandard rock, not graded, rolled and compacted properly, making it hard to walk and ride bicycles on. I had to get off my bike and walk it on F Rd, a major feeder road. The larger rock ends up on the sides of the road in a short amount of time. At the last board meeting, the GM said that occurs bc ppl drive down the middle of the road. Houses on paved roads have higher property value. There's an existing and growing disparity that is upsetting to people who are paying off the bond and keep up with their annual road fees, and aren't getting what they paid for, and then seeing the monies being diverted to mailbox sites.
