AMREP drafted covenants curb Rio Rancho manufactured homes
AMREP drafted design covenants to bar most manufactured homes in Rio Rancho units 7 through 13, with an Architectural Control Committee enforcing standards. City officials say covenants are mostly unenforceable by the city. ACC members are AMREP employees. The move shocks the city task force, creating distrust and questions about future cooperation.

Petroglyph Road Plan Approved by Senate
The Senate approved a bill allowing Albuquerque to extend Paseo del Norte through Petroglyph National Monument if it chooses. The measure redraws the monument boundaries by about 8.5 acres to exclude the Paseo corridor and requires joint design work with the National Park Service or NMU Civil Engineering for road specifications, aiming to balance traffic needs with preservation.
