Impact analysis
The city loses about $2 million a year in NMDOT contract revenue it had been using for cleanup work.
Potentially NMDOT, which regains control of its rights-of-way; residents may benefit if the state deploys additional resources.
Residents who relied on fast 311-driven cleanup of interstates and may face slower state response.
