Developers for Primrose Pointe in Sandia Heights have revised their plans, with construction set to begin soon on the initial portion of an expanded foothills trail. This new trail, numbered #365, was carefully planned in collaboration with various stakeholders, reflecting the culmination of extensive meetings since June 1990. The trail is part of a larger trail system aimed at meeting the recreational needs and demands of Sandia Heights and city residents for well-developed hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking access in the national forest.

S&S Associates shared revised development plans for a chunk of North Albuquerque Acres with the North Albuquerque Sandia Heights Coalition. After initial rejection, major adjustments reduced the number of homes planned to 298. However, several unresolved aspects, such as sewage implications and flood handling strategies, require further clarification before resubmission to the county. Speed limit concerns in Sandia Heights and challenges related to pet waste management were also addressed, alongside updates on community events like the Holiday Crafts Bazaar and recycling schedules.
