Public Invited to Meeting on Santa Fe River Trail and Restoration Project

From the City of Santa Fe:
The public is invited to attend a public meeting regarding the Santa Fe River Trail and Restoration Project planned from Frenchy’s Field east to Camino Alire. The meeting will be held Tuesday, January 15 from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM at Gonzales Elementary School, 851 West Alameda, Santa Fe.

Since the 1990s, the community has had a vision of a restored Santa Fe River that is alive hydrologically, biologically and ecologically while simultaneously alive culturally in the hearts of our entire community and embedded within a healthy and functioning watershed. The Santa Fe River Trail is currently being developed as a continuous corridor including the riverbed and both sides of the River, between Camino Alire within the City to the point in the County where the river passes under NM 599.

This trail is considered one of three primary urban trail spines (the others are the Rail Trail and Arroyo Chamisos Trail) that serve the Santa Fe Metropolitan Area. Through a connecting trail and a series of parks, the trail project will provide open space corridors, multi-modal transportation opportunities and recreational amenities to local residents and visitors.

This project is a joint effort between the City of Santa Fe and Santa Fe County. Click for more information on the project.
