Trails Plan to Be Aired By Albuquerque City Council

A plan is in the offing to build more biking and walking trails on the west side of Albuquerque. Those trails would be etched into land already owned by the City of Albuquerque.

Members of the Albuquerque City Council are considering a proposal that would see a trail link between the Petroglyph National Monument and the Rio Grande Valley State Park, among other areas.

As envisioned, the trails would also be used for horseback riding.

If made reality, the plan could see the building of around 24 miles of trails that, in some locations, would connect with trails already in existence.

The council is expected to review on December 21 a resolution calling upon Mayor Tim Keller to prepare a west mesa open space trails plan. That same resolution states that up to $75,000 in general obligation bonds will be used to fund the plan.
