[Neighbors] Nob Hill News, $34 Million Nob Hill Hotel Could Open By Mid-2027, , Boutique Marriott brand to rise at former Hiway House site. 112 Rooms

[bluet-78504 at mypacks.net]

Hi Susan,

Relax. There is nothing to worry about with the addition of 112 hotel rooms at that location. CABQ assures everyone that a significant number of guests will use adjacent public transportation. Although they have no studies to support this assumption.

Remember, when CABQ took away two lanes on Central they assured local residents that there would be no impact from diverting traffic. Remember when CABQ took away two lanes of the Lead/Coal Corridor (plus Zuni) they assured residents that there would be no negative impact on nearby residents. Remember, a while back, when CABQ took away two lanes on Carlisle they promised the same. (Girard?) See a pattern here?

Is anyone surprised that Lomas is now in the sights of the Zero Vision faction?

At one of the community outreach meetings, I asked one of the CABQ traffic engineers what simulations and studies had been done to collect hard data. He told me that CABQ does not use computer simulations to show where traffic will likely go, and the only studies they do are traffic counts that are handed to their favorite consulting firm to show how great the projects' results will be.

Maybe that's why CABQ allows a cannabis shop on every block, so resident can relax and not worry?
