Valerie poses with MRCOG Executive Director Lawrence Rael and state Transportation Secretary Gary L. J Girón

The Valencia County resident says she’s been taking the train to work for a year-and-a-half now. Gladden says prior to the Rail Runner extension to Santa Fe, she would take the train from Los Lunas to the US 550/Sandoval County station and catch the Park and Ride shuttle into Santa Fe. She says now she doesn’t have to worry about making the connection in Bernalillo, and she can get on the train and sit back and enjoy the whole ride.

As part of the Kirtland Joint Land Use Study, a public survey is now online.  Take the online Kirtland Survey.

Anyone is welcome to take the survey, but we are especially interested in hearing from those who have interest in Kirtland Air Force Base.  This includes individuals who work on the base or related defense industries; those who live near the base, including neighborhood associations and Isleta tribal members; and those who interact with the base, such as business and community members. 

The survey is completely anonymous and takes about 10 minutes to complete.  It utilizes online survey software called Survey Monkey.  Questions address where you work and live, the type of transportation you use for your commute, and how you rate a number of matters associated with both Kirtland Air Force Base and the Albuquerque International Sunport (traffic, safety, sounds, water, etc.)  Questions also address other community issues around the base, including schools, parks, homes, and business.
