ALBUQUERQUE MAYOR R-J BERRY IS HOPING TO LEVERAGE CITY MONEY TO GET FEDERAL DOLLARS TO HELP PAY FOR A BUS RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM ON CENTRAL AVENUE. HE TELLS US IT’S MONEY WELL SPENT AND HE’S HOPING TO SEE MUCH OF IT COMPLETED SOONER, RATHER THAN LATER. HE’S HOPING TO SEE A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THE BUS RAPID TRANSIT ROUTE COMPLETED BY THE END OF HIS SECOND TERM AS MAYOR.
A BOND PACKAGE APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL LAST WEEK CONTAINS THE INITIAL FUNDING FOR THE PROJECT.
