Project Updates 2023/2024

ALLENSPARK UPDATE

EARLY 2024 – TOWN HALL IN ALLENSPARK TO DISCUSS TRAILBLAZER SERVICE ROLLOUT

TIME/DATE TBD – We will notify everyone who is registered in our system when the meeting is scheduled.

As many patient folks in Allenspark already know, we had planned to provide service to Allenspark, at least the downtown area, by now.

With such high demand for service, some delays with obtaining materials, weather, and (surprise!) additional fiber damage from our beloved Norther Flickers, our in-house fiber crew ran up against fall and winter weather before the main construction to Allenspark could be completed.

Since Allenspark gets hit with more winter weather than the valley and work in remote areas can be difficult even in the best weather conditions, we have made the decision to transition our construction crews back into the valley where they can work more efficiently and safely during the winter months. When the weather warms up in 2024, we will be able to work more efficiently and quickly to finally bring Trailblazer Broadband to Allenspark. 

Please know that we will offer service to Allenspark as soon as we can reasonably do so. 

Two Town Hall Meetings were held for Glen Haven residents and businesses, on February 21st and on March 14th.  If you were unable to attend, you can view the recorded meeting here to find out more about Trailblazer Broadband coming to Glen Haven.

  • Most of the Glen Haven area now has Service Available
  • Flood impacts have delayed opening an area of County Rd 43 at Old Bridge Rd. It is anticipated this will open when the bridge is replaced.
  • Meetings are informational only. The project and timing for the area may have changed since these updates. 
  • For questions or more information, please contact Customer Support at 970-577-3770.
  • Be sure to register online if you haven’t, then watch your email for your personalized invitation to get service when it’s available at your address!

Service Availability / Progress Updates:

 

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 early Spring of 2024 continuing along Hwy 7 through mid 2024.
  • plan to loop back to the area from Mall Road to just west of Drake along Highway 34 in Winter/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.
 
We are confident that our superior service, local support, and greater reliability will be worth the wait!

      • Hwy 7 corridor from Fish Creek Rd. South to Allenspark
      • County Rd 43 into the Retreat
      • Upper Fall River Road
