Girard Streetscaping

Background and Goals

The Girard Streetscape Improvements project was initiated by the North Campus, Netherwood Park, and Summit Park Neighborhood Associations, and City Councilor Isaac Benton. The project is continued with Councilor Fiebelkorn and is planned and constructed through the City of Albuquerque’s Department of Municipal Development (DMD) with the goal to improve connectivity and revitalize the commercial aspect of the area. This project will improve shopping in this corridor and make Girard a community gathering space.

Analysis and Design

The analysis and design for this project has been funded and plans will be completed in 2025. Analysis and design funding was provided by Representative Gail Chasey and Senator Antionette Sedillo Lopez.
