Los Alamos County Hosts March 4 Mesa Trail Meeting on ADA Upgrades

Los Alamos County published a notice that it will hold the first public engagement session for the Los Alamos Mesa Trail Rehabilitation Project on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. at Fuller Lodge, and the notice states the project will rehabilitate "roughly 2,500 linear feet of the Mes." County staff have not published additional scope details in that notice; the meeting is scheduled two days from today.

The County is running the Mesa Trail session alongside a separate outreach process for Bayo Canyon. The Los Alamos Daily Post reported that "the first in-person community engagement session is 5:30 p.m., Feb. 11 at Fuller Lodge," and local social media posts from the County corroborated the February 11 date and 5:30 p.m. start time for the Bayo Canyon Trailhead Improvement Project.

LaDailyPost quotes County project language for Bayo Canyon, describing it as "focused on creating a safer, more accessible, and welcoming trailhead for users of all abilities." That Bayo Canyon posting also notes that "Project documents, including the Public Information and Involvement Plan (PIIP), are available in the Project Document Folder for Bayo Canyon," allowing residents to review early concepts and materials used to shape design options.

Los Alamos County has provided multiple participation pathways for public meetings in recent years. LaDailyPost directs readers to the County website "for updates on the meeting, Zoom access, and project details." County Legistar calendar entries show meetings routinely offer remote participation options; archived Granicus meeting records include conference-call dial-in numbers such as +1 346 248 7799 and +1 669 900 6833 on past agendas, indicating the County's practice of provisioning phone and Zoom access for public comment.

Calendar records also show scheduling activity that may explain timing choices. Legistar lists a Planning and Zoning Commission item for Feb. 11, 2026 at 5:30 p.m. at Council Chambers that is explicitly marked "Meeting Canceled," and it lists a County Council special meeting on Feb. 26, 2026 at 5:30 p.m. at Chamisa Elementary School for a joint session with Los Alamos Public Schools. Those entries are part of the County's public meeting calendar and appear alongside community engagement notices.

LaDailyPost emphasized that "Community input is a critical part of this process, and Los Alamos County encourages residents, trail users, and stakeholders to participate and help shape the future of the Bayo Canyon Trailhead." For the Mesa Trail rehabilitation, attendees at the March 4 Fuller Lodge session will be the first opportunity to review county-provided materials on the roughly 2,500-linear-foot rehabilitation; the County website and the Bayo Canyon Project Document Folder remain the official sources for meeting links, PIIP documents, and any updated project facts.
