Notably missing from the discussion of the 32nd Street river bridge is how the current configuration discourages people with disabilities from using the forthcoming northern addition to the trail. Parents…
They have so much money that they have to spend it quick. Otherwise, council could ask the voters to use the money more wisely, perhaps for a police station. When…

Montrose Democrat James Iacino runs his own race to take on Scott Tipton
Is it primarily for road cyclists? Even though a lot of work has been done, cut your losses and build it somewhere that makes more sense. People will go out…
What an unholy eyesore. As the editorial pointed out, even if you ignore all the other factors in this proposed project (cost, necessity), that is one ugly monstrosity. I love…
Several smaller bills pending in the Legislature seek simple fixes
I understand there was a long public process. But I think the ground has shifted given the comments I see or hear from practically everyone I know. I don’t think…
I frequently walk the length of the river trail and no other bridge design smacks the eye in such a hideous way, with its industrial, cheap, outdated look. City Council…
This is real money for working families: The average surprise bill for emergency care is $628, and more than $2,000 for hospital admission. The vast majority of households filing for…
It’s an opportunity to reflect on how each of us can help end oppression. A key question facing historians is how could an enlightened society that produced our civilization’s greatest…
For years, RRT has done an excellent job of transporting residents of La Plata County to their work/school, Walmart, for help with medical needs, etc. My questions to a Bayfield…
It’s made up of multiple disparate parts, clunky concrete pylons and looks like it’s a cut-and-paste from the 1950s. For $4.1 million, can we not create a design that is…
9-R keeps dragging its feet on ending lunch-shaming – but why?
I work at Brennan’s Exxon. It is one of the finest local businesses here in Durango, owned and operated by the wonderful Brennan family for generations. Their employees and devoted…

city’s renderings of a proposed 32nd Street crossing are bad news
It is a smart move on the city’s part to reconsider large investments in our little ski area given the projected decline in our state’s snowpack and stream flow. Climate…

Be like Canada! Where you can wait months to see your primary care doctor, be given tests, scans and finally see an oncologist when your once curable cancer has become…
A mailer recently sent by Doctor Patient Unity in New Hampshire.Courtesy of The New York Times We know, it sounds like “Alice in Wonderland.” Plus big bucks. That’s what lobbying…
My professors have gravely informed my classmates and I that if business continues as usual, the world should prepare for 2.5- or 3-degree temperature increases. This is terrifying. The reality…
He and other public officials, including Gov. Jared Polis, rightly worry about population growth’s impact on the environment since Colorado’s population is projected to increase 30% by 2040. That means…
