MAYOR TIM KELLER SAYS IT’S TIME TO MAKE SOME CHANGES AT BALLOON FIESTA PARK…ESPECIALLY IN REGARD TO TRAFFIC. THE MAYOR SAYS VISITORS SOMETIMES HAVE TO WAIT TWO TO THREE HOURS TO GET INTO THE FACILITY. KELLER SAYS NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO SIT IN TRAFFIC THAT LONG JUST TO GET TO THE BALLOON FIESTA.
KELLER SAYS SEVERAL OPTIONS ARE BEING CONSIDERED…INCLUDING INSTALLING A SO-CALLED “SLIP RAMP” OFF I-25 TO ALLOW TRAFFIC TO MOVE MORE SMOOTHLY COMING OUT OF THE PARK. HE SAYS THE RAILRUNNER COULD ALSO BE BETTER UTILIZED TO EASE SOME OF THE TRAFFIC CONGESTION.
