A NEW TERM FOR DEALING WITH SPEEDERS IN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS: IT'S CALLED "TRAFFIC CALMING"…OR HOW MUNICIPALITIES CONTROL SPEEDING CARS IN NEIGHBORHOODS. ALBUQUERQUE MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR MICHAEL RIORDAN SAYS THE CITY NOW HAS A DRAFT PLAN ON VARIOUS WAYS TO MAKE PEOPLE SLOW DOWN WHEN THEY GO THROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS. THEY ALSO WANT YOUR IDEAS …. AS WELL AS YOUR INPUT ON WHAT THEY'VE LEARNED OTHER CITIES AROUND THE COUNTRY ARE DOING TO SLOW DOWN DRIVERS.
SPEEDING VEHICLES IS A PROBLEM FOR MOST NEIGHBORHOODS IN ALBUQUERQUE. THERE ARE TWO PUBLIC MEETINGS ON THE ISSUE. ONE WAS TUESDAY NIGHT. THE SECOND IS WEDNESDAY EVENING STARTING AT 6:45 AT THE MANZANO MESA MULTI-GENERATIONAL CENTER. CITY OFFICIALS WANT TO KNOW WHAT SPECIFIC PROBLEMS YOU SEE IN YOUR AREA.
