Durant Schools is opening a new elementary school on a main corridor between the middle and east portions of Durant. We request traffic lights be installed on Gerlach/Washington (middle sector) and Gerlach/1st (east sector) in order to ensure consistent traffic flow between US 69/75 north of these streets and Durant businesses while also prioritizing patron safety.
