La Cueva High School Community Access

In order to facilitate mutually acceptable public access/schedules at La Cueva High School, such that both school security needs as well as community access concerns are adequately addressed, a public input meeting was held at the school on June 10 2024. An electronic survey was then conducted in July to the 2nd week of August. The result of the survey was the consensus La Cueva HS Field Public Access Schedule below.

This Schedule will go into effect this October and the public will have access at the stipulated times/dates via remotely operated gate controlled by the APS Police Department.

To see the new schedule, please click on this La Cueva Public Access Link.

Thank you for all your input and assistance that facilitated this process and compromise.

City of Albuquerque announces Constructive Conversations (Updated)

Constructive Conversations is a series of meetings designed to bring community members like you together with city leaders to discuss shaping the future of development in Albuquerque.

This series aims to bridge the gap between community aspirations and funding realities, focusing on potential investments that can enhance our city’s infrastructure, quality of life, and sustainability. Each session in the series will explore city development in a particular Council district. Depending on the needs of the neighborhoods, these projects could include infrastructure, buildings, transportation, green spaces, cultural landmarks, and more.

The meeting for District 4 was hosted by Mayor Keller and City Councilor Bassan  on Wednesday, May 22nd from 5:30pm to 7:30pm at North Domingo Baca Multigenerational Center after the invitation was extended to area residence through neighborhood sites like this one. The meeting was fairly well attended and not surprisingly one of the major areas of interest was the North Domingo Baca Aquatic Center. See the attached copy of the handouts that were available at the meeting.
