About the Project

4/4/2025 - The City staff and design team are finalizing the design plans and meeting with property owners. The current design plans are linked below.

6/14/25 - The City hosted a public meeting for the North Main ADA Improvement Project on June 13, 2024 at the Durango Public Library. This meeting presented the preliminary design to the public and discussed elements of the project.

The North Main ADA Improvement project will design sidewalk improvements adjacent to transit stops, upgrades to existing curb ramps and installation of new ADA compliant curb ramps as required, and improve transit stop facilities along US Highway 550 (North Main Avenue) between 17th Street and Animas View Drive. The improvements will address deficiencies to approximately 17 transit stops identified in the 2016 ADA Transition Plan and improve accessibility along North Main Avenue. Transit stop improvements will include transit shelters, expanded landing pads, benches, and bike racks where possible.

This project was awarded funding from the Colorado Department of Transportation through two Senate Bills, 260 and 267. This funding is specific to design and construction of the aforementioned scope and will require coordination and compliance with CDOT standards.

It is anticipated that design will be completed in 2025 and construction will start in 2026.

Project funding: Senate Bill 260 $2,500,000; Senate Bill 267 $2,000,000; Local match from 2015 Half Cent Sales and Use Tax $1,125,000
