THE ALBUQUERQUE CITY COUNCIL IS BEING ASKED TO CREATE A TASK FORCE TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE OF LANDING AREAS FOR HOT AIR BALLOONS. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS CITY COUNCILOR DON HARRIS INTRODUCED THE LEGISLATION. THE TASK FORCE WOULD MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ON WAYS TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM.
THE JOURNAL REPORTS THE RESOLUTION FROM HARRIS SPECIFICALLY MENTIONS THE CORRIDOR ALONG INTERSTATE 25 FROM COMANCHE TO ALAMEDA. DEVELOPMENT AND IN-FILL ALONG THE CORRIDOR HAS REDUCED THE NUMBER OF VIABLE LANDING PLACES FOR BALLOONS.
