Tom Bolack Trail Improvements

Completion Anticipated 2025

Councilor Gibson began this project prior to Councilor Fiebelkorn taking office. Councilor Fiebelkorn has since worked to complete the plan to improve the existing Tom Bolack trail. 75% of the trail has been upgraded to date. The upgrades include paving and solar lighting.

In 2024, the City worked with PNM to move guy wires in order make way to build a concrete path to connect with the East portion of the trail that was installed leading to the dog park.

The West phase of the trail began January 30, 2025. The trail will be constructed by the Parks & Recreation Department with help from our on-call contractor, Franklin’s Earthmoving, Inc. and is expected to be completed by fall 2025.
