Taos plans pedestrian friendly downtown renovation project
Town officials, Taos Project members Lynn Fitzgerald and John Otis presented a plan to renovate Juan Largo Scheurich and Teresina Lanes north of the Plaza. The project aims to add trees, planters, a granite marble cobble stone paving, and free standing street lanterns while closing alleys to vehicles for pedestrian use. Construction would last about 60 days with partial closures, and facade renovations would motivate property owners to upgrade.
