City Requests Public Feedback on Rail Trail

The Metropolitan Redevelopment Agency has published a public comment draft of a new report, Advancing Inclusive Growth through the Albuquerque Rail Trail. The Albuquerque Rail Trail is a planned 7-mile urban bike and pedestrian trail, an iconic and artistic parkway that will reflect Albuquerque’s vibrant history and cultural diversity. This new report highlights the trends in Rail Trail neighborhoods and recommends programs that can promote neighborhood stability and vibrancy.

The public can read the report, take a survey, provide public comment and register for a public informational webinar by visiting: https://cabq.gov/railtrailequity. Spanish language translations are available. Traducciones en español disponibles. Public comment is open through Friday, March 8.
