Albuquerque confronts a plan to extend a six lane highway through the Petroglyph National Monument to reach new housing across the ridge. Indians and conservationists warn the route harms sacred petroglyphs and cultural areas while supporters cite traffic relief for a growing city. Senator Domenici pushes the measure in a spending bill with a $13.5 million cost to the city.
