Neighbors in northeast Albuquerque signed a petition for more bike patrols on a popular trail, and city leaders listened. Albuquerque police are now coordinating with three different area commands to increase bicycle patrols on the 11-mile Embudo Arroyo Trail. The goal is to ensure the safety of trail users and park visitors. In addition to police officers, the city’s Parks and Recreation department is also working to address issues in parks, such as enforcing no-camping ordinances and providing services to those in need. The city is committed to maintaining safe and clean parks for everyone to enjoy. This community-driven initiative is a response to concerns about safety on the trail and in parks, and residents are pleased with the progress being made. With increased patrols and enforcement, neighbors hope to feel safer and more secure while using these outdoor spaces. The collaboration between residents, city departments, and law enforcement shows a commitment to addressing community concerns and improving the quality of life for all Albuquerque residents.
