THE WAITING GAME CONTINUES FOR THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE. THE “WAITING” IS FOR 75 MILLION DOLLARS IN FEDERAL FUNDS FOR THE ALBUQUERQUE RAPID TRANSIT PROJECT.
THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS THE FEDERAL PROGRAM THAT WOULD ALLOCATE THE MONEY FOR “A-R-T” DID GET OVER 400-MILLION DOLLARS IN THE RECENTLY SIGNED OMNIBUS BILL. HOWEVER, THERE IS NOTHING IN THE BILL THAT SPECIFICALLY FUNDS “A-R-T.”
THE JOURNAL REPORTS CITY OFFICIALS ARE ENCOURAGED BY THE FACT CONSTRUCTION OF “A-R-T” IS PRETTY MUCH COMPLETE AND IT COULD HAVE A HIGHER PRIORITY FOR THE FEDERAL FUNDING.
