                        RECOGNIZING CANYON ROAD

 Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, I wish to recognize the city of 
Santa Fe and their award for one of 2007's Great Streets. Canyon Road 
was showcased by the American Planning Association as being one of the 
top 10 streets in the country.
  Canyon Road is unique in that it combines elements of commercial and 
residential living in a way that makes guests want to visit this street 
time and again. It is the heart of the residential arts and crafts 
district, and many artists sell their work on this street. Canyon Road 
is loaded with art galleries that draw crowds of art connoisseurs and 
simple lovers of art. Art is a huge part of the culture in Santa Fe, 
and Canyon Road epitomizes that culture. This street is enjoyed by 
locals and tourists alike.
  It is great to see Santa Fe recognized along with cities like New 
York City and St. Louis. Canyon Road was listed alongside other famous 
roads, such as North Michigan Avenue in Chicago and Ocean Drive in 
Miami. It is great to see the character and distinctiveness of my State 
represented on lists such as these. The American Planning Association 
has only solidified what New Mexicans already know, that this street is 
a place all should enjoy. I invite all of you to visit New Mexico and 
go take a leisurely stroll down the legendary Canyon Road.
