Instead of using one of the proposed ideas suggested in The Durango Herald (June 9) as to where the new fire station goes, how about splitting up real estate at the Durango dog park?
There is already a dangerous parking problem at the dog park. A new footbridge to the park could be erected a few yards north from the sewer plant rapids, and people with dogs could park at Santa Rita.
In my opinion, a fire station would have an easier departure (perhaps with a traffic light installation) located on U.S. Highway 160, where the present entrance to the dog park is, than at any of the proposed Camino del Rio fire station locations.
