Kirtland AFB Prescribed Burn
The prescribed burn on Kirtland AFB scheduled for February 11-12, 2023 has been canceled.
The FHVA Board of Directors has been working with Kirtland AFB, Albuquerque Fire & Rescue, and City Council member Renee Grout's office since Friday (1/27/23) to raise issues and assemble information to disseminate to FHVA members and FHV residents. Based on our, and others, questions, the proposed controlled burn has been cancelled until Fall of 2023 at the earliest. We will continue to work with these offices on future activities, and will update you as soon as there is more information.

At the request made by Four Hills Village (FHV) residents, the city has had three traffic calming studies made of the FHV neighborhood over the last year and a half. In all these recent traffic studies of FHV there has been no mention about how bad the conditions of the roads in Four Hills Village are.
Currently, within the FHV boundaries there are approximately 5.4 linear miles of road that are in serious need of repaving, approximately 4.7 linear miles of road that are in marginal condition and need significant repair work, and another approximately 6.8 linear miles of roads that are serviceable but need maintenance. These mileage measurements do not include the perimeter mileage of the many cul-de-sacs which would add another estimated 5 or more linear miles to the total. In a separate but related issue, only two of the five locked emergency exits/entrances are currently usable. No gates had signs listing contact numbers for unlocking the gates.
In the light of the probable availability of new federal infrastructure funds and the upcoming NM 2023 legislative session, the FHVA board decided to make an appeal to the city, county, and state governments for funds to repair selected roads and infrastructure within FHV.

Road Warrior Award for Rusty Goetz
|
At the January 2023 Annual General Membership Meeting, Jennifer Lopez presented Rusty Goetz (who was not able to attend) with the Road Warrior Award in honor of her countless hours of walking the neighborhood while analyzing every inch of roadway in Four Hills Village. Rusty, a retired geologist, donated her expertise, energy, and time for the betterment of our community. Not only did she make note of literally every 1/4” of the roadway and its faults, but then produced a professional grade coded map (see above) and scientific report to disburse to local elected leaders. She hosted them at her home to explain in layman’s terms exactly what FHV needs in regards to roads and why. If FHV is awarded funds for road repairs, it will be because of Rusty!
