West Side May Get Street Improvements
The West Side Association heard that the city planning staff proposed major street and highway upgrades for Albuquerque west, including interchanges at 98th and I-40 and 84th and I-40, Coors Road safety upgrades, and 90 percent federal funding for the 84th Street interchange if built before 1976. The plan aims to aid Atrisco Business Park access, with details from a June 6 draft to city and county commissions. The board also postponed the West Side Open House to allow more planning and approved numerous director nominations for staggered terms.
