Fall Neighborhood Cleanup Saturday
Sept. 25, 2021 from 9 AM to Noon

CABQ and Waste Management are again sponsoring a Fall neighborhood cleanup across Albuquerque on Saturday, Sept 25, from 9-12 noon. Four Hills Village is registered to clean Four Hills Rd from the Tijeras Canyon bridge up to the Stagecoach “Y” and both the La Cabra and Stagecoach entrances of the Manzano-Four Hills Open Space. In a new effort to improve our neighborhood, we have also linked up with the Open Space management and they will be sending out a couple of folks to help organize a weed pulling effort on that same Saturday. We will need folks to help remove and bag up tumble weeds, goat heads, and other noxious weeds along the main trails in the Manzano-Four Hills Open Space.

Thanks to the efforts of several of our residents, Four Hills Rd is in pretty good shape. I would like to focus our main effort on the Open Space and its FHV parking areas. If you can help clean and weed in the Open Space, please wear enclosed shoes and appropriate outerwear for hot work and weeds that can bite 😉, and, if you can, bring work gloves, weed digging implements or small shovels. We will gather at the La Cabra Dr entrance as parking is easier there. If you plan to help out on Four Hills Rd, please dress appropriately for the weather, bring gloves and gather at the Winterwood Way/Four Hills Rd intersection. Bags will be supplied at both locations. City trucks will come to collect the trash bags.

We have always have had fun at these events and any level/amount of work is valuable to all of us and our neighborhood. If you are planning to come and/or if you have questions, please email me at rustygoetz@comcast.net. We would like to get headcount for logistics but will be really glad to see you out there even if you don’t contact me ahead of time.

Four Hills Village Traffic Study

The City of Albuquerque is planning to discuss a Neighborhood Traffic study to install traffic calming measures on problem areas within the Four Hills development. The project will decrease the speeds encountered on this street segment as well as address any other needs necessary. This is an opportunity for the public to ask questions, and provide input to the City.

Keep Albuquerque Beautiful: A large thank you for a large clean-up job at the Four Hills Park for the City's participation in Keep America Beautiful. For about a decade, the Four Hills Village Association (www.FHVA.org) has coordinated this event in Four Hills. The crew: Paul Feist, Marilou and Jim Cochran, Rusty Goetz, Ann Harris Davidson, Ellen Lipman, Paul Sedillo, Steve Brugge, Rob Grilley, Matthew Allen, and Abbas Akhil (not pictured). We were even joined by Mayor Tim Keller at the KAFB fence line at the end of the morning.

ONE ALBUQUERQUE
Cleanup in Four Hills Village
Saturday, April 24, 8-12 Noon

ONE ALBUQUERQUE Cleanup Month Press Conference
Including our very own Rusty Goetz discussing our neighborhood's
participation in this event (starting at six minutes into the video).

Four Hills Village Residents, in celebration of Earth Day, April 22, the Four Hills Village Association (FHVA.org) has signed up to participate in the Saturday, April 24, City-wide Cleanup effort. This year there are several major changes in the process. There will be no Waste Management trucks roving the streets for pickups. Instead, we will be using a central drop-off location at the Phil Chacon Park on Southern Ave. Another change this year is that the City will only take those items that fit in a bag. They are unable to pick up large items (stoves, mattresses, bumpers, etc.).

Our plan is to concentrate our efforts on cleaning up the Four Hills Park located at Stagecoach Rd and Running Water Circle SE. There are lots of limbs down and windblown trash after the big storms we have had this winter and spring. If we have enough volunteers and time, we will add in cleaning along the fence on the west side of the Wagon Train Dr by Kirtland Base.

Plan to assemble at Four Hills Park at 8:00 AM and work until noon. Please dress appropriately for the weather and for working in rough areas. Wear heavy footwear and bring your gloves, hats, and water. Please plan to employ social distancing with folks who are not part of your “pod” and to wear masks when working closely with those folks.

Contact Rusty Goetz at rustygoetz@comcast.net and leave a good email or contact phone number for updates. Of course, if you want to join us on the spur of the moment please come to the park and join in the fun!

4 Hills Road Erosion Control and Beautification Project

Kudos and thanks to a number of people who are responsible for the current erosion control and beautification of the east side of Four Hills Road:

Jim Cochran, Past-President of the Four Hills Village Association, who spearheaded this idea a few years ago.
Abbas Akhil, then State Representative, and now member of the FHVA Board, for initiating funding.
Andrew Lipman, former Board member, for following through when the funding lapsed.
City Councilor Don Harris for getting the City to plan and get to work.

This is another example of how the Four Hills Village Association (FHVA.org) is working with the city and state to make this unique neighborhood even nicer.
