The City will be hosting a public meeting for the North Main ADA Improvement Project on June 13 from 5:30 - 7:00 p.m. at the Durango Public Library. This meeting will present the preliminary design to the public and discuss elements of the project.

• Preliminary Design Plans

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 2024 and construction will start soon thereafter.

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
