Since the fork calls bent and unpolished this week, there is another edition of Not the Gabel; Let's start with a few local news about the foot bridge in Shelby Street.
Bridge replacement project crosses the threshold
It is happy to report the work to replace the historic Rocky Bridge, which crosses the Santa Fe River in East Alameda and the Shelby Street until January 2026.
Melissa McDonald, director of Parks and Open Space Division, from Project Administrator Scott Overs from the city of Santa Fe, started Tyler Ashton from Wilson & Company to lead a meeting in the state country building last week, in which a few dozen residents made public contributions.
Those who took part saw some design options that offer modern amenities but maintain the historical style.
McDonald called the meeting informative and an important step towards restoring the popular sidewalk, which has been exposed to since December 2022.
“We received government funds in November 2024,” McDonald told SFR. “Then we started the draft process in January 2025. It is a small project, but an important thing, so we gave it an aggressive timeline with one year.”
McDonald says SFR that the meeting has shown that the “concepts of the city closely match what the public wants” in a replacement. She said the maintenance of the classic rock orientation had a high priority for the residents and gave the choice between a close replacement and one that corresponds to the law on the American disabilities act, and chose Ada.
City employees next to the Historic Design Review Board, in which they can show designs and convey the public contributions. One option included the rocky view of the bridge, the other was not. The residents present showed a preference for the Rocky design. With a little luck, a final design will be ready by the end of August and the construction can begin in November if the river bed is probably bone dry.
County Commission next to the conspiracy of Rancho Viejo
The next chapter in the Megastation saga by Rancho Viejo Solar Power will be able to play on August 11th and 12th in the meetings of the inner city chambers of the district officers of Santa Fe. The commissioners will also see presentations of parties that are assigned in the case and AES.
The expected parties that are expected include the Sierra Club Rio Grande Chapter, whose representative SFR reports that it supports the project. The opponents include the Clean Energy Coalition of Santa Fe and New Mexicans for responsible renewable energies. The fun starts at 9 a.m. and will probably not end before 5 p.m.
On August 12, the hearings begin at 10 a.m. and the residents will receive two minutes each to say their opinion. The advanced registration in the commission chambers is funded.
Aes wants to build a solar panel structure on about 800 hectares near Eldorado and Rancho San Marcos. The promise is 96 megawatts of electricity and around 45 megawatts of battery memory that would shed light on Santa Fe County and much more. The concern is a handful of annoying fires associated with previous iterations. Thermal outlier is the term that takes part in the session will hear.
The proposed solar project from AES has been planned and discussed for well over a year and seems to be at least one other. Regardless of whether the Commission is correct for the AES permission or not, the result can be appealed before the State District Court. AES is much to be invested in order not to make an appeal if they are rejected, and CEC co-founder Lee Zlatoff told SFR in February in February that his group intended to combat installation until all legal paths are exhausted or an alternative website is found.
“We like solar energy,” Zlatoff told SFR at the time. “We just think that there is a safer place to install it.”
Tesuque meeting to prepare for Bischof's Lodge fight
While the Supreme Court of New Mexico is preparing to hear oral arguments in the Landmark, Tesuque protects against NMED on July 8, the locals have gathered today (July 1) at 5:30 p.m. in the San Ysidro church in Tesuque. The struggle protects the protection of the Little Tesuque Creek and the groundwater conductor, which serves hundreds of local fountain and how it is exposed to potential contamination from the proposed sewage plan of the Bishops Lodge. This is the first public meeting since the Supreme Court issued a rare and unanimous stay of NMEDS approval procedures.
The residents share updates, organize the next steps before oral arguments and take part in a basic effort to collect community video and written certificates for public and legal advocates.
From the government's meeting
- SFR already reported in October that Santa Fe's regional airport was watching direct flights to Los Angeles. Well, at the management meeting of last week we learned that American Airlines will offer exactly that. Search for American Airlines on October 6th to offer a daily direct flight to the Los Angeles International Airport for the first time since the pandemic. Santa Fe is now flying directly to Phoenix, Denver, Houston and the Dallas-FT. Value metroplex. …
- The city councils voted for the creation of a metropolitan renovation percentage area. Its limits are essentially the same as the Midtown Local Innovation Corridor, but drop the TRES Santos apartment complex and add Franklin E. Miles Park. The coordination followed months in and from Committees since its introduction in March to stay the New Mexico Metropolitan Sancovalment Act. The execution of the plan will be a partnership between the Metropolitan Redevelopment Commission and the City Council.
Still hungry?
Since this is usually the space reserved for the fork, SFR is preceding that they brought their appetite with them so that it would be wrong if we would not at least offer little food. This week Alex de Vorte from SFR Patios has in mind, which you definitely want to check out tomorrow. The piece reminded me of how often I have eaten in patos recently, including a place that Alex de Vorte wrote about a few weeks ago. His description of the LAGO was so convincing that I traced alone and found a dodgy place outside.
Just tried a dish named Guajiro because I had never heard of it. When the plate arrived and was a foamy, high glass of pineapple juice, I was glad that he was documented with roasted pork, cooking bananas and the Moro rice, which I only selected beans or just via rice. It also came with a chimichurri barbecue sauce described in this way. Everything worked.
Guajiro is not a traditional Cuban dish, but it is a style. Guajiro means farmer, but it is a term attributed to rural life in Cuba. The pork was damp, the cooking bananas were lush and the Moro rice dabbed everything that the sauce handed over well.
The service was a bit slow, but it was a nice summer afternoon on the terrace, so it didn't matter to me at all.
The other outstanding terrace stop that I made in June was on the square in Torogoz. I can only say that Tostadas are all friends in Salvadoran style and a house of Margarita who have to enjoy the sun for an hour in Santa Fe.
On a trip to the Capitol last week I came with a message on the door in El Charro. Looks like they are about half a renovation of the salon. According to the sign, the management opens part of the other room in the restaurant to accommodate the guests. Search for it to be past until July 18th.
I never passed El Charro a few times. If one of them has experiences there about sublime and ridiculous experiences they want to share, please do so.
