THE LONG-AWAITED ZIA ROAD RAIL RUNNER STATION IN SANTA FE IS FINALLY OPEN. IT’S THE 15TH STATION ALONG THE 97 MILE ROUTE, AND LIKELY THE LAST ONE…AT LEAST FOR NOW. SPOKESWOMAN AUGUSTA MEYERS SAYS IT’LL BE DIFFERENT FROM ALL THE OTHER RAIL RUNNER STOPS: THERE’S NO PARKING, SO IT’S BASICALLY A “DROP OFF” STATION FOR PASSENGERS.
MEYERS SAYS THE ZIA ROAD STATION WAS PART OF THE ORIGINAL PLAN FOR PHASE TWO OF THE RAILRUNNER BACK IN 2008…BUT THE OPENING WAS DELAYED DUE TO ISSUES BETWEEN THE DEVELOPER AND THE CITY OF SANTA FE.
