MRCOG Seeks Public Input on Long-Range Transportation Plan

Image

The Mid-Region Council of Governments (MRCOG) is seeking public input on the 2045 Transitions MTP Phase 2 through a communitywide survey. The update to the region’s long-range transportation plan was officially kicked off last fall. Since then, MRMPO staff launched a successful first phase of public engagement with an interactive survey, public meetings, in person community events, and online tools. Now with summer in full swing, MRMPO is returning with a second phase of public engagement. You can take the online survey at: https://live.metroquestsurvey.com/?u=p3h3g#!/?p=web&pm=dynamic&s=1&popup=WTD.

ONE Albuquerque Newsletter

Posted on by
Hello Albuquerque,

This week, legislators from all across New Mexico will convene in Santa Fe for the special session. This is an important opportunity to address the various challenges our communities are facing, especially when it comes to public safety. As a former state Senator, I know that the constraints of our state Constitution and having only 60/30-day sessions leave little choice for urgent and important policymaking. I always support the ideas of a special session to have more time to address the big issues in our state. 

We look forward to working together with partners from all over the state to develop meaningful solutions that can enhance public safety and improve quality of life for all residents. We are also bolstering our own programs to fight crime and curb homelessness. Earlier this month, we joined the community to celebrate the opening of the ACS headquarters. This innovative public safety team has exceeded expectations since being established in 2021, and continues to improve response time and service. Additionally, APD recently completed a proactive transit safety operation along the Central corridor which resulted in 106 felony warrants cleared and 65 felony arrests. And last but not least, we’re investing in our front line workers. We signed a historic collective bargaining agreement with IAFF Local 244, and now all labor unions have these multi-year agreements.

Tonight, Wednesday, July 17, we will be hosting a telephone town hall where City leaders can answer your questions and will be discussing City projects and updates, from community center improvements to crime fighting efforts to summer resources for the whole family. Register for the town hall online.

We also invite you to save the date and join us in person on Saturday, August 17 at the ABQ BioPark Zoo for the annual State of the City address. State of the City is free and for all ages, so bring the whole family and enjoy an evening at our incredible zoo.

We deeply appreciate your shared commitment to improving our city. Albuquerque is worth fighting for, and we will continue to work each and every day to make it a better place for our friends and families. 

Sincerely,
Mayor Tim Keller

NMDOT Starting Construction on I-25 Corridor in August

Posted on by

The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) will begin improving the Interstate 25 (I-25) corridor in Albuquerque between Comanche Road and Montgomery Boulevard, including the freeway, frontage roads, and interchanges. Major construction is scheduled to begin in August 2024 and is anticipated to continue until spring 2027. The project will improve safety and travel times for drivers now and in the future. Additionally, the aging bridges and pavements will be replaced, and barrier-separated shared-use paths will be added at the interchanges to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. To learn more about the improvements on this three-year project, please visit the project website at https://i25improved.com.
