We know that many of you have been anxiously awaiting faster, more reliable Trailblazer Broadband service for some time now.  As we approach the final stages of our fiber construction project in 2024, the Trailblazer team wants to assure you that we are bringing service to you as quickly as we can.

Here’s the latest: 

• Over 780 miles of fiber optic cable have been run since construction started in Sept 2019.
• In spite of numerous challenges, we have been ahead of our original schedule for a good portion of the buildout which leaves us well-positioned to complete construction by the original timeframe by the end of 2024.
• As the project nears completion, two key milestones are taking place in 2023:
  1. Making payments on the bond issued to fund the broadband buildout, which is a priority for the project’s sustainability since the bond, procured grants, and Trailblazer client revenue have funded 100% of the project without using any tax dollars.
  2. Transitioning all future construction and installation work in-house to be done by the Estes Park Power & Communications fiber team.
• With only the internal team responsible for main construction of the fiber infrastructure as well as on-premise installations, combined with overwhelming demand, wait times for service have increased.

As of now we: 

• are offering service in Glen Haven and part of the Retreat, with the remainder opening soon.
• plan to complete the main construction of Allenspark by the end of 2023.
• will begin offering service to areas in downtown Allenspark beginning in the Fall of 2023 continuing along Hwy 7 through early 2024.
• plan to loop back to the area from Mall Road to just west of Drake along Highway 34 in Spring 2024. Construction in this area was previously delayed due to several factors including accessibility, scheduling, and budgeting for shoulder season traffic control, the need to provide mainline fiber along Hwy 34, and to meet our budgetary goals by completing construction in our most densely populated areas first.
• build out any remaining fiber infrastructure in 2024 and provide service to the remaining areas.

The Trailblazer team looks forward to completing the project in 2024 as originally planned and appreciates the flexibility and understanding of the community as we bring the broadband network buildout to a successful conclusion.

In the meantime, we will continue to provide updates as progress continues.  You can also find more information about Trailblazer on our website at https://trailblazerbroadband.com, our Construction Schedule, or by giving us a call at 970-577-3770 during regular business hours to reach Customer Support.
