Zia Road is a station-to-be on the New Mexico Rail Runner Express commuter rail line, located in Santa Fe, New Mexico. While the platform is completed, the station has yet to open due to land use issues with the adjacent land. The station is the first Rail Runner stop to be constructed on private land, and the opening date has yet to be determined. Officials had predicted that the station will open in August 2011, following an agreement from the city's finance committee that the stop will open if the owners construct parking and transit facilities for the station however as of January 2012, the station has not yet opened.
The station will be located at the intersection of Zia Road & St. Francis Drive, and is planned to be the center of a mixed-use, transit-oriented development.
Each of the Rail Runner stations contains an icon to express each community's identity. The icon representing this station is the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi.
Famous quotes containing the word road:
“A novel is a mirror carried along a high road. At one moment it reflects to your vision the azure skies at another the mire of the puddles at your feet. And the man who carries this mirror in his pack will be accused by you of being immoral! His mirror shews [sic] the mire, and you blame the mirror! Rather blame that high road upon which the puddle lies, still more the inspector of roads who allows the water to gather and the puddle to form.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
