The Paseo de las Iglesias Phase 1 project has 3 main goals per the Bond: River Park, Ecosystem Restoration and Erosion Protection. Below is a summary of each of the final amenities in each category to be constructed onsite.
The project will provide river park pathway and amenities including 2.7 miles of paved pathway (16’ wide), 2.2 miles of DG pathway (8’ wide) and 10,305 new trees, shrubs and cacti irrigated using permanent irrigation, temporary irrigation and Dri-water irrigation methods. The water sources will be reclaimed water. With the construction of Paseo de las Iglesias the Loop will have an 8 mile continuous section on the Santa Cruz River. Amenities will also include 3 parking areas; the west side paved parking area with restroom, ramada and seating, east side paved parking and ramada, and west side equestrian staging area with dirt parking and mounting block.
The project will provide ecosystem restoration element including a plant pallet comprised of native species local to this part of the Santa Cruz but also sustainable for current conditions, water harvesting basins, preserve in place areas for vegetation and habitat, and special habitat structures like lizard habitat and raptor perches. Additionally, Lizard and amphibian salvage to be performed by RFCD though subcontract to Dr. Rosen at U of A. RFCD contracted with Dr. Rosen to collect and monitor lizards in a fenced off area off Cottonwood Lane south of the Community Garden. The fence has been constructed by Dr. Rosen and lizard catching is in progress. Other amphibians will also be salvaged for later release. This will be treated as a do not disturb area during construction. The focus of the restoration work will be improvement to Mesquite Circle Pond which is home to 9 unique and special interest native species and one of the jewels of urban Tucson herpetological community.
The project will provide erosion protection including 1.4 miles of new soil cement bank protection, 0.4 miles of gabion bank protection, and additional methods such as rip rap, rock plating and terracing.
In addition to the decorative elements designed by the landscape architect there will be Public Art elements. With the assistance of the Tucson Pima Arts Council, we selected public artist Andy Dufford. He has been working on an entry monument and ramada for the project site. We have also been working with Las Artes, a local Arts and Education center, on a tile mural at the restroom.
During the design process our individual Section 404 permit was obtained from the Army Corps of Engineers, cultural resources mitigation was performed and letter of clearance issued from SHPO, Intergovernmental Agreement obtained with from the City of Tucson regarding property within the project area and permits with ADOT applied for. A cultural resources/archeological Phase I, Class III study was completed. The study was conducted to the current standard and determined the extent of archeological resources on site. Based on the results from the study a mitigation plan was created to determine and plan for the extent of the impacts of the project and the necessary remediation. Additionally, a goal of the project is to create signage for a segment the proposed pathway to represent the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail along the west bank of the Santa Cruz River that commemorates the 1775-1776 expedition and the historic Paseo de las Iglesias Trail.

Holding them together is the secret. And there will be a favourite whom you will hide from everybody, hoping that he/she will be with you always,............. not realising the fact they will be first one to be forgotten.

Dominating the local skyline with its stainless steel digester "eggs," this wastewater treatment plant is the largest of the 14 NYC Department of Environmental Protection plants. The facility is also home to a Nature Walk.
The plant’s expansion and redesign, completed in 2007, included two permanent public art pieces commissioned through the City’s Percent for Art program: George Trakas’ Waterfront Nature Walk covers quarter-mile of the banks of Newtown Creek and inside the visitors center, artist Vito Acconci’s sinuous water sculpture evokes the flow of drinking water from upstate to the City. Among the most dramatic elements of Newtown Creek’s new plant are its eight futuristic, stainless steel-clad digester eggs.

The UNMISS protection site in Bor has been re-designated as a conventional displacement camp under the control of South Sudan’s government.
Over the past year, peacekeeping troops have gradually been withdrawn and a Memorandum of Understanding has been signed with the Jonglei governor to ensure ongoing protection and support of the displaced civilians.
A Government delegation visited the site to reassure people that they will not be forced to leave. Humanitarian assistance will also continue.
Many families have already left the camp due to an improved security situation. The 1900 remaining residents move freely to town to attend school, shop, and work.
An assessment found no external threat to the five UN POC sites has existed since 2017, so they will gradually be transitioned to IDP camps.
This had enabled peacekeeping troops previously on static duties at the sites to be deployed to other areas where people’s lives are in immediate danger.
Recognising that hosting mega sport events may pose risks to children, UNICEF and Save the Dream collaborated to promote integrity, child protection, safety and security in sport. Our Ambassador Alessandro Del Piero visited Rio de Janeiro in the second year of the project.
