Commissioners delay closing of Country Center Drive access

Posted

During its regular meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 10, the Archuleta County Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) tabled its decision on a resolution to temporarily close the public access to Country Center Drive from north Pagosa Boulevard until its first regular meeting in December.

The BoCC voted unanimously to amend the meeting’s agenda, tabling its decision on the resolution until the first week of December.

According to the agenda, “This Resolution is to vacate and close public access to Country Center Drive from North Pagosa Blvd., Pagosa Springs, County of Archuleta, due to public health, welfare and safety concerns.”

During the meeting, County Attorney Cathleen Giovannini said that the county still feels like “there are some concerns” about the access road, but given the recent flooding events, the county does not want to “inconvenience” residents with any more road closures.
