MEMBERS OF A DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION ARE CALLING ON ALBUQUERQUE MAYOR TIM KELLER TO MAKE GOOD ON THE POLICE DISTRICT HE SAID HE’D ESTABLISH THERE WHEN HE WAS A MAYORAL CANDIDATE. LEON GARCIA, PRESIDENT OF THE ASSOCIATION, SAYS ALL THEY’VE GOTTEN SO FAR FROM THE CITY IS RHETORIC. HE SAYS THEY NEED BODIES, ACTUAL POLICE OFFICERS, ON THEIR STREETS.
GARCIA SAYS THE ASSOCIATION WANTS TO MAKE THE AREA ECONOMICALLY VIABLE. IT’S BOUNDED ON THE EAST BY BROADWAY AND THE WEST BY 8TH STREET … AND THE NORTH BY MOUNTAIN AND THE SOUTH BY COAL.
