🚧 Alley Improvements! 🚧

We're wrapping up another alley improvement project here in Durango! Our crew has been hard at work improving drainage, constructing a new sidewalk and retaining wall, and repaving the alley to provide a smoother, more reliable surface.

✅ Improved drainage to help prevent water buildup
✅ New concrete sidewalk
✅ New retaining wall for added stability
✅ Fresh asphalt for a smooth, clean finish

There's more to an alley improvement project than just new asphalt. By addressing the drainage, grades, and surrounding infrastructure, we're helping create a long-lasting improvement that looks great and functions even better.

Another job well done by the Planet crew! 💪
