BASED ON WHAT’S HAPPENED AT EARLIER MEETINGS ON THE ALBUQUERQUE RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM, TUESDAY’S SPECIAL PUBLIC MEETING AT THE KIVA AUDITORIUM COULD ALSO GET ROWDY. CITY COUNCILOR KEN SANCHEZ SUPPORTS THE “ART” PROJECT. HE SAYS IT’S IMPORTANT TO LOOK DOWN THE ROAD AT THE POTENTIAL ECONOMIC IMPACT OF “ART.”
HE SAYS A SIMILAR PROJECT IN CLEVELAND WHERE 250 MILLION DOLLARS WERE INVESTED IN THEIR TRANSIT SYSTEM AND EXPANDED TO 5-POINT-5 MILLION DOLLARS FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR THE COMMUNITY.
THE CITY COUNCIL IS SCHEDULED TO VOTE ON A MEASURE TO ACCEPT THE FEDERAL FUNDING FOR THE PROJECT ON MARCH 21ST.
KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU’LL BE LIMITED TO 2-MINUTES OF COMMENT TIME AT TUESDAY’S PUBLIC MEETING THAT STARTS AT 6PM. YOU CAN START SIGNING UP AT 4PM.
