MPO Metropolitan Transportation Plan Update - Public Input Meeting
February 2
Santa Fe Community College- 6401 Richards Ave.- Jemez Room
4pm - 7pm
For those who travel to and within Santa Fe and want to voice your concerns or share your comments for improvements to roads, transit/rail, bikeways, or pedestrian ways, please plan on attending a public input meeting for the update of the:
SANTA FE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN (SFMTP), 2010-2035
The approved SFMTP enables the use of federal funding for a range of transportation network improvements (including roads, bridges, bikeways, and pedestrian facilities), as well as for transit/rail facilities, operations, and program support. Once reviewed and certified by the New Mexico
Department of Transportation and the Federal Highways and Transit Administrations, the SFMTP will guide future capital investment to improve all modes of transportation within the Santa Fe Metropolitan Planning Area.
The SFMTP is updated every 5 years to assess and prioritize improvements. The Santa Fe MPO (Metropolitan Planning Organization) is responsible for developing a list of projects, identified in the SFMTP that is fiscally constrained to reasonably expected revenues over the next 25 years.
Some of the transportation issues under consideration include: Corridor Studies for I-25, NM599 and St. Francis Drive; potential roadway and bikeway connections; consistent design standards along roadway corridors; expanding transit and local rail service; developing a comprehensive pedestrian plan that integrates a local Safe Routes to School Program.
