Wildridge Community: Working Together

Wildridge was set up as a special kind of neighborhood where a group called a Community Association helps manage things. However, this association doesn't have its own money to make big changes or improvements. This means that the people living in Wildridge sometimes don't get the same benefits as other areas of Avon, like public bus service. It's like being part of a team but not having all the tools to play!

Getting Around Wildridge: Bus Service

A long time ago, there used to be bus service for the Wildridge community, making it easier for residents to get around. But this service was stopped many years ago. Since then, the idea of bringing bus service back has been put up for a vote several times by people running for local office. However, it has never been approved by the voters. This means that people living in Wildridge don't have a bus to take them to the ski resorts, and they have to pay more for parking and gasoline when they drive themselves.
