THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE HAS GOTTEN APPROVAL FOR FEDERAL FUNDING FOR A BUS RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM ALONG CENTRAL AVENUE. MAYOR R-J BERRY SAYS WORK IS SET TO BEGIN IN LATE MAY, AND SHOULD BE COMPLETED BY THE FALL OF 2017. THE PROJECT HAS ITS OPPONENTS. STEVE SCHROEDER, THE OWNER OF NOB HILL MUSIC, SAYS ACCESS TO BUSINESSES IN THE AREA WILL BE REDUCED.
THE SYSTEM, WHICH WOULD RUN FROM COORS TO LOUISIANA, STILL NEEDS CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL.
