Agua Fría road work switches sides

Archaeological work being done on the east side of Agua Fría Road and San Ysidro Crossing will move to the west side of the intersection starting Tuesday.

That means motorists traveling east on Agua Fría will not be able to turn north on San Ysidro for approximately 35 working days. The conclusion of work on the west side of the intersection will mean that Wednesday traffic traveling south on San Ysidro will once again be able to turn right onto Agua Fría Road heading east. For more information, call 992-3010.

Drive-in movie to benefit nonprofit

The Community Farm, a Santa Fe nonprofit, will benefit from a drive-in movie fundraiser being hosted Saturday by Architecture for Humanity, Santa Fe, at 1120 Paseo de Peralta.

In addition, Architecture for Humanity has designed and will build an entry way with a sign for The Community Farm, which is near the San Ysidro River crossing in Agua Fría Village.
