That meeting is only about  "when" not "if."  Politicians are the ones that

don't.

 presented by the Albuquerque Transportation Department.

We live on Tulane between Lead and Coal....in the middle of the  block. Not 
only do we hear the noise, racing, police and fire  trucks...folks speed up 
so they peak at our house either direction and  break just in the middle.

We need to get back to the wonderful community Nob Hill was.....and  should 
be.

Another and big issue not being addressed is how will the  city make up the 
value loss to homeowners along the Lead and Coal  corridor?  Even homes far 
back from Lead/Coal are impacted by all the  vehicle noise and feeder 
traffic now.  As the bottle neck is created  on Central we over here will see a 
loss of home value as the traffic  increases and families move out.  

It is so bad now that we can’t hear ourselves in the house at times  due to 
the drag racing and loud vehicles on Coal.  

The sidewalks on the north/south streets in this area are old and  broken 
and families with kids, people walking dogs or baby strollers,  jogging or 
the elderly out for exercise have to walk in the streets.  So when they come 
to the intersections of major busy Coal/Lead at  rush hours it is going to be 
worse than now for crossing.   Moving  the traffic off Central onto Lead 
and Coal will also increase the vehicle  traffic (and car thefts and home 
robberies) on the north/south streets  that cross Lead/Coal which is where a 
large number of stable family homes  exist.

It is hard enough now to find families that want to live near the two  big 
highways cutting through their communities and ART will just make it  worse 
which will result in a big loss in property values.  Is it  worth destroying 
the community fabric for a few supposed jobs on Central.  I don’t think so.

The Mayor’s team has said that Lead and Coal are under utilized, not  
carrying the capacity they could carry in terms of numbers of vehicles.  This is 
just tech code for destroying our long established  communities that are 
having hard enough time now.

It’s  amazing that the people who live on Lead and Coal are the ones who 
are  only looking at their houses and not the betterment of the area or  
community. We live on Carlisle and the traffic if horrible, but it’s the  way it 
is, living in the city near such a popular area of town.. The area  
surrounding the ART path will be upgraded and walkways made bigger. How  wonderful 
for foot traffic and a perfect place for more trees. I can’t  wait. I’m 
tired of old thinking about this city and am excited about NEW  thinking on 
improving the city. More business means more  jobs.

I sent this to  the Journal too about all the letters they ran in favor of 
ART…..  Bob 

Dear  Journal editor:
As  another long time Nob Hill resident I must say this proposal is going 
to  destroy our and other communities and not create anything but more low  
wage jobs, if any at all.  

We  do need more mass transit but this is not a good solution unless you 
are  a contractor looking for a quick buck.  I would rather that this  money 
be spent on low income housing, north/south bus lines, subsidizing  jobs for 
the poor, helping our schools among a list of other more  pressing problems. 
 Heck, Nob Hill does not even have a community  center but it has lots of 
bars.

In  case the mayor has not noticed the businesses along Central have been  
closing for a long time now due to the fact that people don't have the  
luxury spending money in their pockets to spend in Nob Hill bars and  shops.  It 
is not because they don't have a bus to get there  on.  Raising the wages 
of low-end workers in the city would do more  to help businesses than 
anything right now.

Throwing  $100 million into this problem is going to solve nothing but make 
the  Nob Hill and other communities near by area more unlivable as more and 
 more traffic will be shifted to the horrible Coal and Lead  corridors.  

Lead  and Coal cut like a knife through long stable communities and the  
increased traffic planned for them will just drive more people out and  
properties will be turned in to rentals by "investors", who are behind  much of 
this project it seems. This is already happing.  The noise  and racing 
problems and intersection crashes on Lead/Coal are now  causing home owners to put 
up walls on the street sides, making the area  more of a canyon than a nice 
livable  neighborhood.  

Intensifying  the traffic on Lead and Coal, one of the stated goals of the 
project  will bleed this area of many stable long-term homeowners.  What the 
 ART will do is make the platinum condo duelers who jump from brewery to  
brewery along Central happier.  This seems to be the class divide  behind 
this project as it is planned.

Plus,  the thousands of trees that we have planted along Central over the  
decades to make some shade in this hot city will be cut down too.   This 
plan makes no sense at all and should be stopped now in its tracks  before more 
destruction is done to our communities.  We need more  rapid transit but 
not this project.

Bob  Anderson
