THE ALBUQUERQUE CITY COUNCIL MONDAY NIGHT TAKES ON THE ISSUE OF PANHANDLING IN THE CITY. IT’S NOT UNCOMMON TO SEE THE HOMELESS MEN AND WOMEN ASKING FOR MONEY AT INTERSECTIONS AND INTERSTATE OFF AND ON RAMPS.
AN ALBUQUERQUE CITY ORDINANCE WILL BE VOTED ON BY THE CITY COUNCIL MONDAY NIGHT THAT ACTUALLY DOESN’T SAY STREET PEOPLE SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY FROM INTERSECTIONS, BUT IT WOULD KEEP THEM FROM OCCUPYING OR ASSEMBLING NEAR THE INTERSTATE OR THE SIDE OF THE STREET. AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE BEYOND 4 FEET OF AN INTERSTATE OFF OR ON RAMP.
