B. PROJECT UPDATES

Mr. Aune reported that the Santa Fe County River Trail documents are 95% complete. This is an epic project. The level of detail is great. The trail is connected at Henry Lynch Road. The Trail Head is at the Silar Bridge. There will be ten parking spaces and 2 additional handicapped spaces.

Mr. Javier Martinez said there is construction on 1-25 between Cerrillos Road and Exit 290. We are doing mill and fill there to improve the road until we begin our TIP project. The mill and fill will be done before the July 4th weekend. We will get that striped as soon as we can.

Mr. Gibson reported that the NCRTD is looking to purchase land in the City of Santa Fe or in an outlying area. Right now, we share space with Santa Fe Trails for our operations there. We want to expand our operations center. Our new center will have a ready room for drivers a store space for vehicles and an electric charging station. The RFP to do a site study will be out in the next few weeks.

Mr. Trujillo reported that one of the projects on the TIP is the west extension of State Road 14, New Mexico 99 to Alva Pu Po. That will begin mid July. The intent is to have an engineer on board to complete the design process. The project should be completed at the end of 2025. With the NE/SE Connector project we have a segment of Richards Avenue closed. The comments about the closure are lessening. The project is slightly ahead of schedule. We are on schedule to complete the project in the summer of 2024.
