The circumstances are lost to the past, but somehow the public sidewalk on the west side of Camino de la Sierra from Monte Largo north for seven hundred feet was never constructed. Neighbors brought it to our attention that because of the rough surface and the goat heads walkers were forced to walk in the street along this stretch which is unsafe given the volume and speed of the traffic.

ECNA worked with Councilor Harris’ office and one of Mayor Keller’s staff to get that sidewalk placed.  We were pleased when we were notified that this project would begin in October of 2021 and be completed in November 2021. 

Construction has caused inconvenience to local drivers who had to navigate a detour though the Vista del Mundo neighborhood, but the new sidewalk is worth it.

Thanks to all that worked to get this done.

The crosswalks at Lomas and Monte Largo crosswalks have been restriped. This was an effort by ECNA and VDMNA and Councilman Harris and his Policy Analyst Laura. This is but a small example of why we need Embudo Canyon and Vista del Mundo residents to join their respective Neighborhood Associations. The squeaky wheel get the oil. VERY LOUD squeaky wheel gets the oil first.  Special Thanks to Dan Troy, ECNA Director for making this happen!  Photo Credit: Gage

Tramway / IS Project Championed the project to add landscaping and mitigate run-off at Tramway and Indian School roads.  A $900,000 project funded by your state and local governments will give us a beautiful entrance to our community.  Click for more information

Sign posted at the east end of Indian School Rd at Embudo Canyon Open Space entry. Thank you to City of ABQ Open Space and APD Foothills Command for posting the sign to remind people to lock and remove valuables from their car. An important reminder to people so that the criminals have less of an incentive to break into cars at Embudo Canyon.

We have requested and received additional patrols from APD and Open Space Police. The incidents then are reduced for awhile then the criminals make their rotations back to this trail head again. The smash and grab takes less than a minute. I appreciate people sharing their experiences to heighten awareness and all watching out for one another. Thank goodness there are more good people than bad.

Thanks to our volunteer Jane, from Embudo Canyon Neighborhood and City Parks and Rec Mutt Mitt program we have a new station at the Lomas arroyo, just east of Tramway. Another volunteer may be joining to provide coverage as needed. As a Mutt Mitt volunteer they refill the dispenser so that good pet owners have a bag easily available to put up after their pet. With this new station we all hope to enjoy cleaner trails. There will not be a trash can at the location, as there is not staff currently to pick up the trash. We will keep on monitoring and may ask for your involvement to encourage the City to provide coverage. There are several Mutt Mitt volunteers in our neighborhood–THANK YOU! How did we get a Mutt Mitt station? Embudo Canyon NA contacted the City on this request and then put out a call on NextDoor for volunteers. Just another reason to join Embudo Canyon NA for good work we can do together.
