The San Pedro Streetscape visioning process concluded on July 27, 2011. The focus of this process was to envision changes to San Pedro Dr. from Constitution to Lomas in order to improve its appearance and accessibility for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Below is a list of the posters providing the results of this process:
1) Existing Conditions
2) Four Alternatives Examined
3) Recommended Alternative-Aerial Plan
4) Recommended Alternative-Street Sections
5) Recommended Alternative-Constitution Intersection, Business Impacts and Bike Lane

In October 2011, the Fair Heights Neighborhood Association Board of Directors decided to support the recommended alternative made by the UNM Community and Regional Planning Students. In addition to learning more about the potential impacts of these concepts, FHNA will continue to work to gain support for improvements to the street.

SAN PEDRO STREETSCAPE PROPOSALS
On July 2, 2011, the UNM Community and Regional Planning Studio presented alternatives for streetscape improvements on San Pedro, for the segment of road that is approximately between Constitution to Lomas. The studio also provided a recommendation for improvements of the Constitution/San Pedro intersection. The recommendations were made based on the input that was received at the first visioning meeting on June 11, 2011 at Mark Twain Elementary School. Please take a look at the recommendations below and provide us with your comments.
Instructions for viewing options:
Please take a look at the following documents, which were the basis of the UNM Studio presentation on Saturday July 2nd. Pay close attention to [4_trasnportation] and [5_transportation] as these contain options for changes to the street and intersection; we are especially interested in hearing your input on the transportation options. When providing feedback, it would be help if you indicated what sheet you were referring to (1 through 6).
Please send your input, comments and opinion on your preferred option to: elvirajr@yahoo.com.
The students will be working on the preferred option, based on community feedback, and presenting a final proposal on July 27, 2011 at:

RESTRICTIONS DUE TO FIRE DANGER
ATTENTION FAIR HEIGHTS RESIDENTS
The following message is from Bernalillo County and the City of Albuquerque sent 6/28/11:
“City and county leaders and fire officials are strongly discouraging the use of fireworks except at public events such as the City of Albuquerque’s Freedom Fourth celebration, Isotopes Park and the City of Rio Rancho’s annual Pork & Brew, just to name a few. While state law allows restrictions to be imposed, an outright ban of the sale of fireworks is prohibited by state law. As permitted by state law and city ordinance, the City of Albuquerque along with jurisdictions across the state have banned the sale and use of all aerial type fireworks and fire crackers that are louder than a paper pistol cap. Aerial fireworks are illegal, defined as fireworks that go more than 10′ feet in the air or move outside of a 6′ circle.” These restrictions have been put in place due to the extremely dry conditions and potential for fires.
