JUST IN TIME FOR CINCO DE MAYO. CONSTRUCTION OF ALBUQUERQUE RAPID TRANSIT STATIONS IS COMPLETED AND CENTRAL AVENUE IS FINALLY BACK OPEN FOR BUSINESS. IT’S HAD LIMITED LANES, ORANGE CONES AND SLOW TRAFFIC FOR MONTHS SINCE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ALBUQUERQUE RAPID TRANSIT PROJECT GOT STARTED, AND SO MANY BUSINESSES ALONG CENTRAL WERE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED.
BUT NOW, MAYOR TIM KELLER ANNOUNCED ON THURSDAY THAT CENTRAL IS BACK OPEN AND HE’S ENCOURAGING EVERYONE TO GET OUT AND SHOP AND DINE A CENTRAL AVENUE STORES AND RESTAURANTS. KELLER SAYS PARKING WILL REMAIN FREE OF CHARGE FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS SO PEOPLE CAN REACQUAINT THEMSELVES WITH THE AREA.
BUT HE SAYS DUE TO CONTRACT WITH THE BUS COMPANY MEANS WE’LL SEE A DELAY IN WHEN THOSE NEW BUSES ARE RUNNING.
