Sarah Hurteau

NM Conservation Director

Spatial Informatics Group-Natural Assets Laboratory



Dear Ms. Hurteau,



I am writing to express the enthusiastic support of the Nob Hill
Neighborhood Association for the Spatial Informatics Group-Natural Assets
Laboratory (SIG-NAL) application entitled *“Silver Median Project” *at
Silver Ave. SE and Solano Dr. SE in Albuquerque. Our board of directors
adopted this position by a vote of 8 for, none opposed.

We understand the project aims to demonstrate and amplify the viability of
green storm water infrastructure-supported street trees as a standard
practice for advancing the climate resiliency of Albuquerque's community
forest. The community driven participatory design will serve as a
repeatable model for future projects throughout the city, giving a defined
process for other community-led projects in the city right-of-way, and most
importantly provide much needed water to our street trees. The project team
will lead the community through a visioning process for this underutilized
median that is currently dirt and weeds, adding street trees and capturing
thousands of gallons of storm water runoff. The beneficial use of that
runoff provides an innovative solution to irrigating streetscapes.



As a project partner, we fully support this project as it advances our
organizational goals of enhancing the quality of life for Nob Hill
neighbors and the greater Albuquerque area. Advancing this project would
support several goals of our association, namely fostering community
engagement and restoring tree canopy. Partnering with you can help us
realize these social and environmental goals.



We are committed to supporting this project and will contribute toward
in-kind match by dedicating volunteer time as Neighborhood Stakeholders, as
our time allows. In this role, we will attend community meetings to engage
with planning and project partners, and review designs of the Silver Ave
median.



We appreciate the opportunity to voice our support for this project as it
is a critical demonstration project that has the potential to change the
trajectory of future streetscape development. We urge the State of New
Mexico, Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department, Forestry
Division, to fund this important work.



Kind regards,

*Gary L. Eyster*

*President, Nob Hill Neighborhood Association*
