During a recent government meeting, members discussed several key initiatives aimed at addressing community concerns and improving transportation safety in Santa Fe. The meeting began with a roll call vote, which passed unanimously, allowing the council to proceed with the agenda.

Eric Ani from the Santa Fe Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) presented updates on the strategic plan and the upcoming Metropolitan Plan update, a federally mandated process. Ani emphasized the importance of public engagement, particularly focusing on Scribe Road, which he described as a microcosm of the city's broader transportation and social issues. The initiative, titled \"Let's Talk About Suros,\" aims to gather community input on transportation needs and potential solutions over the next nine months.

Ani also highlighted the MPO's commitment to updating technical elements of the plan, including demographics and funding. He noted that a comprehensive list of projects, both funded and aspirational, would be made available to the public by the end of November.

Additionally, the New Mexico Department of Transportation is set to conduct road safety audits on Cerritos Road, following a summit on safety led by Secretary Amy Whitfield. Ani clarified that the MPO's role would not involve political implications regarding homelessness in the area, but rather focus on the complexities of ensuring safety for all road users.

The meeting concluded with a recognition of the collaborative efforts among various agencies to enhance transportation safety and community engagement in Santa Fe.
