Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Albuquerque public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Transit safety plan update
ABQ Ride has moved from Metro Security to a layered approach using APD transit safety officers, public service aides and contract guards. Ridership is up and reactive calls are down, but contract security costs more and councilors want better rider assistance.
98th Street and Molamosa traffic safety
A young woman was killed in a weekend crash at 98th and Molamosa, an intersection Councilor Peña has been pushing to signalize. Design money is being sought; the council discussed adding it to the city's capital priorities.
Quick-build street safety treatments
The proposed ordinance change would require the city to consider quick-build safety treatments — fast, lower-cost safety fixes — whenever it plans road construction, resurfacing, sidewalk reconstruction, or restriping on city streets. The committee recommended it move forward to the full Council.
