Bruce - based on my past experience at Montezuma condos where we had a Keystone bus stop on our property, it is true that the HOA is responsible for maintenance of the bus stop.  For us this primarily amounted to re-staining occasionally and I think once we had to do some roof work.  It's always been a bit of a contentious issue but never a very large expense so we just went ahead and did it because it was viewable from every condo and people didn't want it to be an eyesore.  I'm not aware of any HOA that challenged this position from Vail.

For The Alders HOA the Keystone Neighborhood Company (KNC) maintains our bus stops. They are not lit to my knowledge.

Each homeowner pays annual dues to KNC for this service along with many other services KNC performs for the community.

Keystone stopped servicing the bus stops at Gateway and Cinnamon Ridge before last season.  We didn't have stop shelters just signs which are now gone.  

Is it possible you're looking at a dual purpose Summit Stage/Keystone stop?  I'm not aware of Keystone constructing any shelters.  If there's a shelter I bet your HOA built it a long time ago? 

It's a bit of a conundrum. When Montezuma Lenawee and other nearby condos were constructed, they were owned by Keystone (Ralston Purina). Later the properties were deeded to be independent from the Keystone organization. Montezuma inherited the bus stop, originally built and maintained by Keystone, the one that was used for transport to the lifts. Our understanding is that the bus stop is now owned and maintained by Montezuma however Vail Resorts lift bus no longer stops there... We're considering the bus stops future....  

It will be interesting to see the delineation between the Summit county (now Keystone?) bus service and the Vail Resorts lift buses. It will also be interesting to see who owns and maintains the roads near the condos....

Unless it already exists, there may be a good reason to create a committee of interesting parties including affected condominiums, Vail Resorts, and the Town of Keystone, to meet quarterly?, to clarify ownership and maintenance issues. The scope could include bus services road maintenance and other common property/issues.

There is a Green Route stop just outside our entrance to River Run Townhomes on East Keystone Road.  There is no structure - just a signpost.  However the ground is not paved and becomes grooved.  It would be interesting to know if that pull-off area is supposed to be maintained by Vail, the county, or the town.  This is the first reference we have heard about an HOA responsibility.  I am sure there are others that are unpaved also.
