Good morning, Durango.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife advises Durango residents to secure trash until morning pickup, remove bird feeders, and lock food at campsites—steps that help avoid bear conflicts—as bears wake early after a mild winter.

The agency recommends making loud noises and calling the local office if bears enter neighborhoods.

Durango’s Parking Division will launch a test parking permit program on May 1 that gives downtown workers a convenient and affordable parking option in the Central Business District (a pilot to ease parking challenges for eligible residents).
