Florida Road

Two journalists from the Durango Herald came to my Mass Communications class the other day to talk to the class about the paper. At the end of their talk they mentioned the reconstruction of Florida Road that will be taking place within the next year. The option of whether or not people wanted this reconstruction was listed on the voting ballot of this year elections. It seems the yeses must have won and Florida will be under construction for approximately the next five years according to the journalists. The town is putting millions of dollars into this project and remaking the entire road. For anyone who lives on Florida Road or uses the road frequently the duration of this process is going to be extremely tough and frustrating.

Here is a link to the official Durango website and its ongoing projects. It explains the landscaping, etc. It also explains their specific plans for the road and says the starting and end point of construction. For all Florida Road users this information could be helpful in the future!
