DURANGO: Good news! Durango West I residents overwhelmingly passed a $600,000 bond issue on Tuesday to fix roads in the subdivision.

Eighty-four voters approved the bond while 42 opposed it in the vote-by-mail election.

Voter's approval follows years of neglected road maintenance in the subdivision, said district manager Janet Anderson. "Our roads are in really bad shape," Anderson said. "We've wanted to do this for awhile."

Work on the roads will begin later this year. The Durango West Metro District hopes to have a contractor signed up by May 25, Anderson said.

Durango West has about 3 miles of road. The roads in the worst shape are Forest Ridge Drive, Trail Wood Drive and Moss Road. Some of the roads will be completely rebuilt, while roads that benefited from a $550,000 bond issue in 1995 will be merely maintained.

We commend the residents of Durango West I for their community pride. It certainly makes our job easier when marketing homes in the area. Give us a call or email if you have any questions or comments about the Durango real estate market.
