ALBUQUERQUE MAYOR TIM KELLER HAS A PLAN TO ALLEVIATE TRAFFIC CONGESTION IN THE CITY. HE ANNOUNCED WHAT HE’S CALLING AN ORANGE BARREL POLICY. IT MANDATES THAT ALL BARRICADES MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE RUSH HOUR FOR ANY WORK LASTING ONE DAY OR LESS… OVERNIGHT WORK SHOULD BE USED WHEN POSSIBLE…AND WHEN WORK IMPACTS PARKING, OTHER AREAS TO PARK MUST BE PROVIDED.
THE MAYOR ALSO WANTS TO CREATE A MULTI-AGENCY REGIONAL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CENTER THAT WOULD BE HOUSED AT THE OLD NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY ON WYOMING NEAR COPPER.
