Jason Casuga, left, CEO and chief engineer for the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District, and Felix Chaves, right, Governor of Sandia Pueblo shake hands Sept. 25 after signing an agreement that will allow repair work on the Corrales siphon to proceed. The MRGCD recognized the siphon had not received proper right-of-way permits from the Pueblo, which meant the district had been trespassing on Pueblo lands for nearly 100 years.

Mayor Tim Keller uses virtual reality technology Thursday to preview the planned Uptown Connect development during a press conference at the current Uptown Transit Center. The $120 million mixed-use project will transform the underutilized transit hub into 239 apartments, along with commercial space, restaurants and a dog park. The development represents the culmination of a 27-year effort that began when the city purchased the land in 1998 with federal transit funds. Construction is scheduled to begin in mid-2026, with completion expected by 2028.
