Seven directives for downtown Durango |
The recently released Downtown Durango Vision Plan contains seven key commandments for maintaining a viable central business district. They are: • Keep downtown authentic, a place that belongs to locals while being attractive to visitors. • Maintain continuous ground floor activity and interest along Main Avenue. • Reinforce downtown’s role as the heart of the community, embodying its identity, values and energy. • Ensure that downtown remains economically and socially healthy as it faces competition from other centers around the community. • Connect all parts of downtown so that its variety of activities can easily reinforce each other. • Encourage walking, bicycling and the use of transit to reduce vehicular traffic and parking needs. • Recognizing the importance of density without creating an urban atmosphere out of scale with the existing look and feel of downtown. |
