The City of Santa Fe has issued a Request for Proposals for a project that will see the extension of a trail located within the Agua Fria Traditional Historic Community.
Plans call for upgrading a nearly 1-mile-long extension of the Acequia Trail, between Rufina Street and San Felipe Road, which is defined as a “multi-use, non-motorized, 10-foot wide paved trail.”
As proposed, the trail will be updated to increase connectivity with Santa Fe’s existing trail system, providing a safe throughway for pedestrians and bicyclists, and building a shady corridor designed to reduce neighborhood heat-island effects.
In total, the Acequia Trail is nearly 2 miles in length, running from downtown Santa Fe and heading in a southwest direction to the Casa Alegre neighborhood.
The RFP has a submission deadline of October 14.
