COUNTY News:

Los Alamos County Community Services Department (CSD) is working with Design Office, a professional consulting service to provide a conceptual design and layout for new and renovated trails in Pueblo Canyon.

As part of this process, CSD has formed several focus groups for citizens and user groups of these trails to provide their thoughts and input to help develop and prioritize conceptual designs for projects that will be shared with Los Alamos County Council for funding considerations.

The desire is to look at concepts of a multi-use trail approximately seven miles long, with two or three loops of the main trail to allow for National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) events and a multi-use corridor trail connecting North Mesa to Downtown, across Pueblo Canyon.

The concept also will look at the possibility of a Mountain Bike (MTB) skills park in the canyon.

Los Alamos County recognizes the value of the trails for both residents and visitors. Trails provide the ability to engage with nature and are quality of life elements highly desired in our community.

The Community Services Department would like to invite interested members of the public to join a focus group session at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2022 via Zoom.

To participate, email Linda Lindstrom at Linda.Lindstrom@lacnm.us or call 505.709.7197 to confirm a spot for the focus group.
