CRESTVIEW BLUFF: The city of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County will work together to preserve Crestview Bluff as a historic urban green area after city councilors formalized an agreement last week.
The city’s Parks and Recreation Department will collaborate with the county to explore a possible public acquisition of a 34-acre site bordering Central Avenue for open space opportunities that could include bicycling, walking trails, pedestrian access, outdoor education and cultural resource conservation.
Crestview Bluff originated 12 years after the re-occupation of New Mexico by Don Diego de Vargas in 1692. An 82,000-acre land grant, which stretched from the Rio Grande to the Rio Puerco, was awarded to Don Fernando Duran y Chaves II as a town settlement and became known as the Atrisco Land Grant.
SUMMER STATE: City officials last week released a “State of the Summer Report,” which provides an overview of results and future trends of youth programs provided by the city.
This past summer, according to city officials, more than 27,000 youth registered to participate in one of the 119 programs, and more than 1,000 youth were employed during the summer months, including many firsttime employees.
