Today’s Question:

A concerned citizen wrote me an email and says a street light is desperately needed near the community development at Angel Park Ranch. The email says: “We are located at Durango and Alta, but the light is needed at the park entrance of Durango and Venetian Strada.  It’s very busy and people speed at this end of Durango. It’s unsafe to access the park or our housing development!”

Melissa’s Answer:

I asked the City about getting a traffic light installed here. Authorities say they studied the intersection recently, but there’s not enough traffic to warrant a light. The good news is- developers for a project that is currently in the works at Rampart and Alta is committed to building a light near the area–if studies confirm one is needed. Once the project is finished traffic is expected to increase on Alta & Durango and that’s why a light would then be installed. The project has a ways to go. However, the light’s design is finished and has already been paid for.

* Although a light can’t be built at Durango and Venetian Strada as requested- once the light is built at Durango and Alta- traffic will improve tremendously in the entire area!
