Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Friday, May 2nd, 2025. Starting off with your Friday updates, it is shaping up to be an activity-filled day in Santa Fe, so get ready to make the most of everything our city has to offer.
If you plan on heading to the Southside Library, be aware that parking is currently limited due to ongoing repairs. Best to give yourself a little extra time when visiting, or consider carpooling with friends or family to avoid the hassle. The city is working quickly to resolve the issue and appreciates everyone’s patience as those improvements are made.
Art lovers, you’re in luck today. The Santa Fe Community Gallery is opening its much-anticipated Art Book Exhibition, showcasing some of the most vibrant works from local artists. Whether you’re a longtime patron of the arts or just looking for creative inspiration, this exhibit promises to be a highlight heading into the weekend. With the season for gallery strolls right around the corner, now is the perfect time to practice browsing with grace and supporting your favorite neighborhood artists.
On the infrastructure front, Santa Fe’s city council is reviewing potential rate hikes for water and sewer services. While nothing is final yet, residents are encouraged to stay informed and participate in the upcoming community discussions to make sure your voice is heard on this important pocketbook issue. Details on public meetings and input sessions should be announced soon, so keep an eye out.
For those keeping tabs on community spaces, there’s an ongoing conversation about the preservation of Santa Fe’s treasured public areas. Local advocates are urging City Hall to safeguard these spaces for generations to come, emphasizing how vital parks and plazas are for everyday enjoyment and community events.
Tonight, consider taking a quiet moment to reflect or connect with loved ones. We’d like to acknowledge the passing of David Amos, a longtime Santa Fean and beloved community member. His life and contributions will be celebrated on May 19th at 11 am at the First Presbyterian Church. Our condolences go out to his family and friends.
As always, don’t forget to check for an updated Orange Barrel Report before driving around town. Several construction projects could affect your commute or favorite routes, so a quick glance at the city’s website can save you time.
That’s all for today. Whether you’re exploring an art show, advocating for our public spaces, or simply enjoying the spring sunshine, let’s continue to look out for each other and keep Santa Fe vibrant and connected.
