THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS GIVING ALBUQUERQUE THE GO-AHEAD TO MOVE FORWARD ON BUS RAPID TRANSIT…A SYSTEM THAT WOULD MOVE PASSENGERS MORE QUICKLY ALONG CENTRAL AVENUE. MAYOR BERRY TELLS 770 KKOB THE CITY IS NOW AUTHORIZED TO MOVE TO THE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PHASE, WHICH HE SAYS IS A CRITICAL STEP. BERRY SAYS BUS RAPID TRANSIT CAN BE IMPLEMENTED AT A FRACTION OF THE COST OF LIGHT RAIL. IF ALL GOES ACCORDING TO PLAN, THE MAYOR SAYS THE PROJECT COULD BE IN PLACE BY THE TIME HIS SECOND TERM ENDS IN 2017.
