[Neighbors] ART

[Thomas Simic via Neighbors_nobhill-nm]

I attended the meeting last night. There were a lot of angry people and rightfully so. After attending the meeting, I am more concerned about the negative affect this project will have on Nob Hill, by eliminating appx. 71 trees, 68 parking spaces and most left turn signals on Central.  There is limited parking for people coming to Nob Hill presently and we are taking away more parking.All of this will affect businesses. There will be an increase of 300 cars during rush hour on Lead & Coal. I live on Carlisle & Coal and witness first hand the speeding,excessive noice from modified mufflers and big boom speakers in vehicles that rattle your house,  accidents and loss of life at this intersection, not to mention the trash that people throw out of their windows. this will only increase this problem.  The new buses will still use fossil fuels. There was mention about looking at an electric bus but no promise of such.  I think we need to find a way to get a moratorium to stop this project and have everyone go back to the drawing board. I am in favor of progress but.....is this progress?? Will the ART plan compete with plans in other states 5-10yrs. from now?? Let's think about the future when making Albuquerque progressive. I am not sure if buses are the answer.  I encourage everyone to take the survey online at Albuquerque Free Press and voice your opinion on this project.   Thank you for hearing me out. Let's do what is right for Nob Hill and the city of Albuquerque.
