Rocky Point Road Closure

January 31, 2024 – As many NWTA community members have heard, Rocky Point Road was closed earlier this week due to part of the road shifting significantly in the last storm cycle. If you drive the road a bunch, you know the spot.

NWTA is still trying to learn more about the slide and the current status of the road. We also don’t know what access is like from Skyline Blvd. down to Rocky Point. NWTA doesn’t have a say in if, when, or how this gets fixed.

If you’re wondering, “how did this happen?” please take a look at this website:

Yep, all of Rocky Point is sitting on one GIANT and very very active landslide. As much as you might see and hear some chatter about human-related causes to the slide, this area and much of the west hills has been in a constant state of motion for quite a long, long time. NWTA President Jered Bogli noted, “I’ve been lucky enough to have a few geologists on my [dig] crews over the past few years and have heard their stories about how insanely active this area is. The earth is really the one making the call here on how the land moves.”

Please respect any road closed signs. While the road may be marked for “Local Access,” this is meant for residents whose homes are located along Rocky Point Road. We recognize the inconvenience of being unable to access the Rocky Point property from Rocky Point Road to ride. However, we encourage you to be good neighbors and respect the space that road crews, geologists, and residents need as they navigate the repairs. And of course, an active slide area poses safety threats to yourself if you choose to cross any posted barriers and investigate – whether by car, on foot, or on your bike. Please stay safe.
