Sierra Vista extends ice rink, advances multiuse paths and Henry Jones Legacy Park; VISTA 2040 public input continues
Summary
City communications manager Adam Curtis said Sierra Vista extended ice‑rink hours through the weekend, will open bids for a West‑End Henry Jones Legacy Park in early spring, and is reworking the VISTA 2040 general plan after public input; some projects are funded with Federal Transit Administration and CDBG resources.
Adam Curtis, communications manager for the City of Sierra Vista, used KWCD's First Watch to highlight recreation and planning projects underway in the city.
Curtis said the ice‑skating rink in Veterans Memorial Park will remain open through Sunday and that the Sierra Vista Youth Council is co‑hosting a teen skate night Saturday from 5–10 p.m.; "Teens 13 to 17 get to skate for just $5," he said.
He described two short multiuse path projects — one on Highway 92 (Foothills Drive to Avenue to Cochise) and another on the west end (Golf Links Drive to Fry Boulevard) — and said the projects are funded in part with Federal Transit Administration money. Curtis also described a planned West‑End park at Fry Boulevard and Fabb Avenue to be named Henry Jones Legacy Park; phase 1 will include a small public plaza and drainage improvements with bidding and anticipated contractor selection in early spring.
Curtis updated listeners on the VISTA 2040 general plan, saying the city had completed a public‑input phase. Because the previous plan failed at the ballot, "we're required by state law to put it back out for a vote again," he said; the city will refine the draft, restart public engagement and then move the plan through planning and zoning and the city council toward a November ballot.
Curtis provided registration and contact guidance for events and directed residents to the city website and social channels for updates.
