ALBUQUERQUE MAYOR TIM KELLER HAS OUTLINED SOME OF HIS PLANS FOR THE RAIL YARDS IN DOWNTOWN ALBUQUERQUE. HIS FIRST MOVE IS TO ALLOW ARTISTS ACCESS TO THE AREA. THAT WAS LAST FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. THE MAYOR’S OFFICE SAYS THIS WILL GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO “DOCUMENT THE RAIL YARD’S CURRENT PLACE IN HISTORY.”
HE SAYS SECURITY WILL BE INCREASED TO 24 HOURS A DAY, THE SITE WILL BE CLEANED WITH REPAIRS TO ROOFS, ALONG WITH THE INSTALLATION OF UTILITIES. KELLER ALSO SAYS SOME SMALL BUILDINGS WILL BE DEMOLISHED.
HE SAYS IT IS HIS HOPE TO PRESERVE THE HEART OF THE RAIL YARDS AS A HUB FOR THE COMMUNITY.
