Pagosa Springs is taking significant steps to enhance pedestrian accessibility in its downtown area. The town has initiated a project to construct a new sidewalk that will connect the Pagosa Springs Middle School to the town center. This development aims to provide a safer and more convenient route for students and residents alike.
The project is made possible through a $250,000 grant from the Colorado Department of Transportation’s Revitalizing Main Street program. The new sidewalk will feature benches, lighting, and landscaping, creating an inviting pathway that encourages walking and community engagement.
In addition to this initiative, the town has secured an AARP sponsorship to improve accessibility between the Archuleta Senior Center and downtown. These efforts reflect Pagosa Springs’ commitment to fostering a pedestrian-friendly environment that caters to all age groups.
Residents can look forward to these enhancements, which are expected to not only improve safety but also contribute to the vibrancy and connectivity of the downtown area.
