ALBUQUERQUE CITY COUNCILOR AND MAYORAL CANDIDATE DAN LEWIS WANTS A STUDY DONE ON THE CITY’S RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM. AT MONDAY NIGHT’S COUNCIL MEETING, HE PLANS TO INTRODUCE A RESOLUTION PROPOSING A STUDY OF THE PROJECT THAT WOULD INCLUDE A COMPARISON OF CURRENT TRAFFIC LEVELS WITH THOSE THAT OCCURRED A YEAR BEFORE A-R-T CONSTRUCTION STARTED.
LEWIS ALSO WANTS TO LOOK INTO THE IMPACT THE PROJECT IS HAVING ON CENTRAL AVENUE BUSINESSES. HE SAYS THE STUDY COULD LEAD TO CENTRAL AVENUE RE-OPENING DEDICATED BUS LANES TO TRAFFIC.
