Good morning, Durango.

The City of Durango seeks community input on the downtown project to redesign Main Avenue and has held comment meetings on June 4 and June 10 while scheduling additional meetings on June 16 and June 23 to guide the project—now 30% complete and set to finish by year’s end.

The Southwest Safehouse will mark 40 years with an event on June 27 at Four Leaves Winery and Southern Ute Behavioral Health invites youth artists to submit artwork for a new mural at Ignacio Skate Park by June 15.

The city will install five temporary speed cushions—meant to lower vehicle speeds—on Animas View Drive on June 17, with officials expecting smoother traffic control as measures take effect.
