Boulevard Neighborhood Association

Connecting Neighbors along Durango’s East Third Avenue, since 1984

The Boulevard Neighborhood Association (BNA) are homeowners and residents who work together to grow community and take action for Durango’s oldest residential neighborhood. We seek to protect historic residential character, our schools, churches, and signature green amenities. We encourage civility and public safety, promote citizen participation, and educate and support neighbors in their desire to maintain quality of life within our City. We encourage you to learn more about the organization, and to join!

Since 1984… We Have a Plan!

  • Changes for the BNA

    The BNA is expanding! At the Annual Meeting in October, a vote was taken to begin offering membership to homeowners on East Fourth asd East Fifth Avenues. We hope to connect with neighbors who are interested in learning about the organization, our mission, and how working together can help protect our collective quality of life in downtown Durango. Our community is stronger and healthier when we have real connections with those who live around us. The BNA takes pride in facilitating neighborhood events like this summer’s ice cream social and the luminaria display at Christmas. But the orginazation’s essential role is educating and advocating for policies that protect from commercial encroachment and preserve historic and residential character of our streets.

    The approach to expansion will be multifaceted, from public announcements and flyers, to knocking doors. You can help too, by talking with neighbors about the BNA and referring them to this website. BNA Board Members are happy to speak with anyone about the organization and membership.

  • Annual Meeting

    The BNA Annual Meeting was held Sunday October 19. Guest speaker from the City Victoria Giannola shared about the City’s Lunch and Learn sessions, with the next (topic: preserving historic windows and doors) Wednesday November 12.

    New officers were appointed to the Board of Directors: Karen Anesi, Carol Grenoble, and Jill Perry.

    A vote was taken to consider changing the organizational bylaws, expanding membership to homeowners on East Fourth and East Fifth Avenues. The item was continued due to lack of quorum and voted on via email, resolving on October 22 with the appropriate number of votes to pass. The results were certified at the Board Meeting November 6. Soon, we will send out the revised bylaws to all members.
