Residents of Sandia Heights now have a new dirt trail connecting Tramway Blvd to Jackson Park, eliminating the need to use Cedar Hill road. The completion of this trail by Bernalillo County provides easier access for various activities such as walking, dirt biking, strolling with strollers, and wheelchairs. Additionally, the Sandia Heights Homeowners Association (SHHA) is seeking input from residents on their preference for receiving the GRIT newsletter, either online or in print, highlighting cost-saving benefits and enhanced features of the online version including color content, internet links, and future video and graphic event presentations.

An informative piece about the harmless vinegaroon, often mistaken for a scorpion, was included in the newsletter, shedding light on this creature's habits and attributes. Furthermore, volunteer opportunities were highlighted for the Communications and Publications Committee (C&P) and the Covenant Support Committee (CSC) within SHHA, encouraging interested individuals to contribute. Water conservation tips were shared, along with updates on Bernalillo County's "Movies in the Park" series schedule, and a detailed process for reporting noise complaints related to barking dogs.
