Venada Plaza Project area is approximately 15 acres located in the town of Bernalillo in Sandoval County, New Mexico. Currently the lot is vacant and is in the process of being acquired for development. Plans for the area include the construction of apartment homes on the three parcels located with the project area. Based on aerial imagery, it appears that the lots have been roughly graded in the past and terraced to accommodate housing. Currently, the project is in the early stages of design and construction details have yet to become available. 2025-11-19 public_comment_letter_NMERT-5319.pdf

Apache Creek The scope of the project is to mitigate flooding and streambank erosion at the NM-12 Apache Creek bridge crossing. The project will excavate accumulated sediment from the floodplain and spread that sediment into a berm along the edge of the adjacent private property to help contain flood flows within the floodplain and protect private property and the highway. Also, a gallery of wire mesh sediment fences will be installed along the streambank to help stabilize and rebuild the eroding bank, while encouraging the stream channel to return to its historic, more westerly course, thereby achieving a straighter approach to the bridge opening. 2025-11-12 public_comment_letter_NMERT-5274.pdf
