ALBUQUERQUE’S LANDMARK AND URBAN CONSERVATION COMMISSION VOTES TO POSTPONE A VOTE ON THE CITY’S CONTROVERSIAL RAPID TRANSIT PROJECT. COMMISSIONERS WILL WAIT ONE MONTH BEFORE VOTING ON WHETHER A-R-T IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE HIGHLAND-EDO DISTRICT DOWNTOWN. THEY RAISED QUESTIONS REGARDING THE PROJECT’S DESIGN, WITH ONE COMMISSIONER SAYING IT DOESN’T FIT IN WITH THE HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD.
OPPONENTS CALLED FOR THE DELAY UNTIL THE COURTS SETTLE TWO LAWSUITS AGAINST THE PROJECT. THE NEXT MEETING IS SET FOR MID MAY.
