Silver Bike Blvd: The big focus of the meeting was how to run the Silver bike boulevard through Huning Highlands which will require a route under I-25.

Heights Community Center: Edgar Avila, Manager of Heights Community Center, has about 150 kids in the summer program. They will start on the new dance floor soon and it will take a couple months. He is still working on the historic registration for the building.

Lead & Coal Two-Way: It doesn’t look like they are going to turn it into a two-way street but will work on traffic calming strategies.

Roosevelt Park Thursday Summer Events: We are done for the year with the weekly Roosevelt Part events and will start our planning for next year.

Encumbered Funds: There is $0.33 encumbered funds that has been on the books for the almost 20 years. A motion was made and approved to move that money into the SHNA budget. See Attached

Thursdays @ Roosevelt

We have wrapped up our first mini-season of Thursdays @ Roosevelt.

We originally planned to conclude by August 30th, then considered extending it to October 4th, and then decided to go back to the original plan, so that we can spend the off-season working on a plan for food trucks.

We’ll retool and revise and start in the spring next year. Thanks for the support as we launched it, and please send along any suggestions you may have.  Please also consider buying a T-shirt to help defray costs from this year and the start of next year. You can do so by emailing president(at)silverhillabq.org.
