HOA's aren't just in the new subdivisions. Â I live within the 680 loop and my neighborhood has an HOA. Â We are actively self-managed and there generally have not been any problems.

Re: Transportation Plan Update.
I'd like to see some language or even some action in recognizing or making some major trails like the Keystone and Big Papio as options for some people to commute when the weather is okay like spring and fall.
