Thank you, Carolina, for your thoughtful ideas.

You may have already done this but I would like to encourage you and other neighbors who would like to weigh in to go to the Central and Girard Site Improvement Survey link below and express your ideas.

I took the survey. One can weigh in on the particular proposals and, at the end, express overall ideas about where the project should rank in the university’s investment/budget plans.

Thanks for your faithful contribution to neighborhood dialogue.

Hey Gary: These ideas look beautiful. However, given the current financial situation at UNM and everywhere, this site design does not seem like top priority for spending the U's limited cash. Students are struggling, staff may be laid off, etc. I'd prefer that the money be spent on more urgent issues. Carolina

Subject: UNM Central & Girard Site Improvement Feedback Request

Dear Neighbors,

UNM Planning, Design & Construction would like to gain feedback from the community on proposed site improvements for UNM Main Campus at the corner of Central and Girard.

The Albuquerque design firm, MRWM Landscape Architects, has proposed three initial design concepts (attached) for the Central and Girard area of campus using the principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED). The Central and Girard Site Improvement Survey will be available through Friday, April 10.

Please feel free to forward this survey to others in your communities.

After the design input is collected from UNM stakeholders, this project will be refined and put through the UNM capital project approval process with the UNM Board of Regents, the Higher Education Department (HED) and the State Board of Finance (SBOF.)

We are happy to bring forward solutions that will increase the security and safety of our beautiful campus for our students, staff, visitors and our neighbors. Because design proposals take on life when our community participates in their development, I invite all to complete this survey and provide feedback on the proposed concepts.

Sincerely,

Amy Coburn
