THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE IS READY TO EXPAND IMPROVEMENTS BEYOND CENTRAL AND LOUISIANA . THE STRETCH OF CENTRAL THAT CARRIES THE ALBUQUERQUE RAPID TRANSIT BUSES HAS BEEN DEALT WITH MAINLY BECAUSE OF THAT PROJECT. NOW THE CITY IS LOOKING AT THE AREA EAST OF LOUISIANA.
MARK MOTSKO WITH THE MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT SAYS THEY HAVE A BUDGET OF 390-THOUSAND DOLLARS TO USE FOR IMPROVING THE MEDIANS FROM LOUISIANA TO PENNSYLVANIA. HE SAYS THE PLAN IS TO WORK ON THE NEXT HALF A MILE STRETCH, REPLACING THE OLD NATIVE TREES WITH VERTICAL SHRUBS AND RE-DOING THE MEDIANS IN GENERAL.
THE NEXT STEP COULD BE NEW LANDSCAPING AND SIDEWALKS. AND THERE ARE PLANS FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS ON EAST CENTRAL, INCLUDING REPAVING THE STREET.
