Common Grounds Café coffee cart will be open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays through summer at the Durango Public Library.
Common Grounds Café runs on the belief that through a rich collaborative effort, we can provide our community with an opportunity to experience high-quality products from local vendors while supporting a vocational training environment that helps students with disabilities become successful.
Through partnership with the Durango Public Library, Durango School District 9-R, San Juan BOCES and local businesses, we can offer students with disabilities this valuable experience, which affords them the opportunity to become prepared to compete in a competitive job market.

Montrose County and the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests have closed portions of 90 Road, National Forest System Road 540 on the Uncompahgre Plateau.
Barriers have been installed below and above the portions of the road that are slumping and sliding for health and safety purposes. These barriers also affect travel from the Divide Road, Forest Service Road 402, onto the upper reach of 90 Road. Approximately five miles of road are closed to all public travel, including ATVs and full-sized vehicles.
Physical road barriers and signs are placed in locations that provide an opportunity to turn around full-sized vehicles.
The area hit by slides and slumps was first reported May 26. A large area of loose, muddy rock and roadway has slumped, and it is still moving, because of precipitation and melting snow.
Extensive repair work will be needed before the roadway can be re-opened. There are no estimates of when this will occur. Alternate routes include the Delta-Nucla Road, Forest Service Road 503; the Sanborn Park Road, Forest Road 530, to Dave Wood Road, Forest Service Road 510; and the Hauser Road, Forest Service Road 603.
