Traffic Advisory - US 50/San Juan Ave CIP3 Sanitary Sewer Construction

Beginning Tuesday September 15th, contractors working for the City of Montrose will begin sewer main construction in Hwy 50/San Juan Ave. Work will start at the intersection of San Juan Ave and 6530 Rd, and progress south then east, ultimately completing at the intersection of Main St and Hillcrest Dr.

With the exception of several overnight closures for final tie-ins and water valve insertions, all work will take place during the daytime hours and will maintain at least one through lane of traffic in each direction. As work progresses, completed areas will be temporarily patched with sacrificial asphalt in order to restore traffic flow until final paving can take place. Construction will extend into the summer of 2027, with a planned winter shutdown generally from November to March.

The City asks that all motorists and pedestrians respect all work zones and detours. Any questions regarding the project may be directed to Civil Engineer Ryan Cushenan at 970.240.1485 or [email protected]. Visit www.MoveMo.co for routine project updates and information on other large capital projects taking place throughout the city.

2026 Cerise Park Wildfire Mitigation and Riparian Restoration Project

Work is expected to take place September 14–October 12, 2026*, as the City works to improve wildfire resilience and restore riparian vegetation at Cerise and Riverbottom Parks.

Work will begin on the northeast side of the park and move south. During the project, visitors should expect intermittent closures and active work zones, including cones, flagging, equipment, workers and closure signs.

What to expect:
Sections of the concrete trail along the river’s west bank will have rolling closures while work is taking place nearby.
Disc golf baskets 10–16 will remain closed throughout the project. The baskets will be temporarily removed and re-installed once work is complete.
Please avoid all closed areas and active work zones.

The project will impact vegetation only and will not permanently affect the trail or disc golf course.

Project funding: The City received a $330,000 grant through congressionally designated funds, administered by the State Forest Service, to support this work.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to make Cerise Park more resilient and restore important riparian areas.

Common Ground: A Joint Statement from Councilor J. David Reed and Mayor Michael J. Badagliacco

“We have not always seen eye-to-eye. We have disagreed, sometimes strongly, about decisions facing the City, the processes by which some of those decisions were made, and what we believe is best for Montrose.

Those disagreements are real and remain. We will not pretend otherwise.

But there is something more important than the disagreements between us: our shared responsibility to the people of Montrose.”

Dave Frank has announced his resignation from the Montrose City Council, effective Monday, September 7. He was elected to represent Council District IV on April 7, 2020, won re-election in 2024, and served as mayor for the 2022/23 and 2025/26 mayoral terms.

Upon his resignation, Councilor Frank released the following statement:

"It has been an honor and privilege to serve the City of Montrose for the past 6 years. I am extremely proud to have been a part of the wonderful forward-thinking projects that made Montrose a better place to live,” Frank said. “The stress and conflict of being a Council member take a toll on both our public and personal lives. I encourage citizens to step up and champion what is best for the City of Montrose."

On behalf of the City Council, Montrose Mayor Michael Badagliacco issued the following statement:

“On Monday, September 7, 2026, Councilor Dave Frank submitted his resignation from the City Council. According to Mr. Frank, he did not make this decision lightly. The City Council would like to thank Mr. Frank for his dedicated service to the City of Montrose over the past six years, and we wish him well in his future endeavors.”

Mr. Frank began serving on City Council in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, a period fraught with many uncertainties for the community and operational challenges for the City of Montrose. During the span of his service, the city achieved important milestones in developing critical municipal infrastructure. He is noted for his diligent research into the details of city issues, projects, and operations, and as a devoted champion of the Montrose community.

In addition to his work on the Montrose City Council, Mr. Frank has taken an active role in advocating for municipal issues in Colorado, having served on the Executive Board of the Colorado Municipal League.

The process for filling vacancies on the City Council is provided in Article 1, Section 11 of the Montrose City Charter:

“In case of a vacancy, the remaining Councilors shall choose by a majority vote, and within 30 days after such vacancy occurs, a duly qualified person to fill such vacancy. He or she shall serve until a successor is elected at the next ensuing special or general municipal election, whichever first occurs, and has been duly qualified and takes office. If three or more vacancies exist simultaneously, the remaining Councilors shall, at the next regular meeting of the Council, call for a special election to fill such vacancies, provided that there will not be a general election within 90 days.”
