A LONG-AWAITED RAIL RUNNER STATION WILL FINALLY OPEN LATER THIS MONTH. THE ZIA STATION AT ZIA ROAD AND ST. FRANCIS DRIVE IN SANTA FE WAS FINISHED YEARS AGO…BUT IT’S NEVER BEEN USED, DUE IN PART TO NEIGHBORHOOD OPPOSITION. NOW, THE STATION…BUILT WITH MORE THAN A MILLION DOLLARS IN STATE MONEY…IS SET TO OPEN ON APRIL 24TH.
RAIL RUNNER OFFICIALS SAY THE ADDITIONAL STOP WILL ADD TRAVEL TIME TO SOME TRIPS, BUT NOT ALL. THIS WILL BE THE 15TH RAIL RUNNER STATION ALONG THE 97 MILE ROUTE BETWEEN BELEN AND SANTA FE.
