The current traffic flow around the Durango Senior Center in Durango has become a pressing issue affecting the safety and well-being of our senior community. The original dedicated road that once led directly into the Senior Center's parking lot has been altered, leading to increased confusion and potential safety hazards for our older residents. The intertwined traffic flow with nearby school traffic exacerbates these problems, making it difficult for seniors to access the center safely and conveniently.

We propose two potential solutions to address this pressing issue. First, restore the original dedicated road leading directly into the Durango Senior Center parking lot. This would resolve the immediate confusion and safety concerns, providing a straightforward path for seniors to navigate. Alternatively, construct a new, clearly marked, and dedicated entrance specifically for Senior Center visitors. This entrance should be physically separated from the school traffic flow, complete with appropriate signage visible from the main roadway.

Both solutions are simple, reasonable, and essential for ensuring the safety and comfort of our senior population. By implementing one of these changes, we can create an environment where our older residents feel welcomed, protected, and able to fully participate in their community activities without obstacles or concern.

Improving access to the Senior Center is not just a matter of convenience; it is a matter of respect and dignity for those who have contributed so much to our society. Our senior residents deserve easy, safe, and direct access to community resources designed specifically for them. Let's show our elders the respect they deserve by prioritizing their safety and ease of access.
