Cross-town bike riders and neighborhood residents alike will be pleased to hear that progress is being made for a critical connection of the Acequia Trail between Maez Road and Los Hermanos Rodriguez Park! Local non-profit Homewise understood their unique position to make this connection possible via property acquisition, allowing them to work towards their affordable housing goals and provide a huge win for City residents.
Homewise purchased the property at 1268 Maez and is now working with the City to create a public connection. This connection will allow walkers and bikers to access the neighborhoods and resources on either side without having to use Agua Fria or Cerrillos.
Homewise also utilized staff time and resources to secure a public easement from PNM for the Acequia Trail from Gallegos to Maez. Many thanks to them for this fruitful partnership!
