Description

Eric Martinez discusses priority of projects for the trail systems from proposed Santa Fe Opportunity Bonds.

A

Hey or affect the priority projects, or that came out of the NPO, that.

B

Came out of the MPO and, of course, Keith went to be tech and presented the bicycle priority: the the project list basically nerdy list and that's what was recommended by dtac to City Council saying this is what we recommend that you.

A

Include in the bond question: correct, yeah: okay, so lots of people have spent time fleshing this out yeah. So what are some of the priority projects? I know. I'm keep talked about connecting the rail trail right at penn, road and alta vista around there. Is that one of them? Yes,.

B

That's that's on the list and that's too because there's a there's kind of a missing link, if you will of the rail trail between penn, road and and alta vista mm-hmm. So that's one thing is to close that link and get some sort of connection. There do continue that the real 74.

A

/ audience that would be roughly the intersection of st. Francis and cerrillos sort of behind the state offices correct along the railroad tracks and right now, people have to write either in the parking lot or yeah.

B

They don't now take a street connection. I have to take a street.

A

Connection, yes, so it's just so well a relatively small piece, although.

B

I can't tell you exactly what we would do in that area and.

A

B

Course, that's part of our job is to study and look at alternatives, but dumb, but yeah. It would be to to look at some sort of link there to make that connection great.

A

Okay, what else.

B

Well, the the list is numerous, which is in itself a challenging thing, because even if they're small projects, they can take as much time to to develop and get through the process, but some of the others you know, are some connections to to the trail segments. You know to the River Trail torture me so to the second trail, and it's it's ways so that people can get to those trail systems. Okay,.

A

B

There's a lot of a lot of different connections. We call them connections so.

A

They're just little pieces of pavement from here to there or something might.

B

Be yeah or or longer segment, of course, but and in the parks bond we concentrated on creating larger segments of the trail system. You.

A

Know, of course,.

B

What we're doing at zia and st. Francis is is one of those right.

A

B

Trail is the other. The la tierra trails is a big system of its own mm-hmm, so you know where that was to concentrate on the on the larger systems, and this priority list looks at more of the connections. How can people get from neighborhoods and businesses to the trail system? Okay,.

A

Great ok, so it's it could really be any kind of little connection right.

B

A

Mean it's hard, it's hard to explain. You're also.
