TWO PROPOSALS TO DELAY BUILDING A LOOP AROUND JEFFERSON MID SCHOOL ARE ON HOLD AFTER MONDAY NIGHT'S ALBUQUERQUE CITY COUNCIL MEETING. THE PROPOSALS … BOTH FROM COUNCILOR ISAAC BENTON … WOULD, FIRST, BLOCK THE PROJECT FROM PROCEEDING FORWARD … AND, SECOND, CREATE A TASK FORCE TO WORK ON TRAFFIC ISSUES AT APS SCHOOLS.
THE LOOP WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE IT EASIER TO PICK UP AND DROP OFF STUDENTS AT JEFFERSON MID SCHOOL … BUT GENERATED OPPOSITION FROM PEOPLE WHO LIVE BY THE SCHOOL. THEY SAID IT WOULD LEAD TO LOWER PROPERTY VALUES AND POLLUTION.
