CONTINUING THE VISION: City installs metal archways as part of The Rail Trail in Sawmill District

City of Albuquerque workers install a metal archway in the Sawmill District. The archway will be part of The Rail Trail, an economic development project the Chamber has long supported.

The Rail Trail construction continues to make progress.
On Sept. 6, Terry Brunner, director of the city of Albuquerque’s Metropolitan Redevelopment Agency, said two archways have been installed on the  Sawmill section of the trail.
The pieces are designed by Predock Architects and welded by Pace Metals in the South Valley.
“… These contain unique, perforated images in metal that will project onto the trail,” Brunner said.
Construction continues on the seven-mile multi-use path connecting Downtown Albuquerque and Old Town with projects in the Sawmill District and near Central Avenue and First Street.
Terri Cole, president and CEO of the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce (GACC), highlighted that the Rail Trail aligns with the mission to foster a thriving business environment. She noted that for years, the Chamber has supported this urban trail project, which will enable residents and visitors to traverse from historic Rail Yards through various city landmarks.
The Chamber has also backed initiatives like forming a Business Improvement District (BID) and a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District to boost Downtown’s economy and complement the Rail Trail.
