Yes, the recently installed pedestrian surface crossing light there is a big improvement, but still breaches the oft-stated axiom of a complete separation of people and cars that holds true everywhere else on the trail.

I see Durango’s economic “train” to have its “engine” at the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad Depot, and it’s “caboose” at the Discovery Museum. Tying these two important centers more directly together could persuade visitors to stay an extra day, thus helping our local economy. And don’t forget to attend the meeting from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. June 25 at Carver Brewing Co. to give your input to how to make Durango’s bike grid even more friendlier!
