8th Street & Robinson Park Feasibility Study

 

A collaboration between Downtown ABQ MainStreet Arts & Cultural District, New Mexico MainStreet, and the City of Albuquerque, the 8th St. + Robinson Park Feasibility Study will explore how to make Robinson Park a more convenient and efficient place to have community events while increasing pedestrian safety around the park.

The study will explore design options for potential reconfiguration of 8th St. between Central and Copper and improvements to historic Robinson Park. Results of the study will help the City make decisions about how to best achieve project goals.
