ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Albuquerque city councilors are expected to vote on a resolution that could shape the future of transportation for the next two decades. The piece of legislation would update the city’s priority project list for the 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan.
If passed, the recommendations will be handed to the Mid-Region Council of Governments, which manages transportation planning for Albuquerque. Federal regulations require transportation projects to be included in the plan.
The newly proposed projects include a wide range of infrastructure upgrades, from updating traffic signals, electric vehicle charging stations, and road reconstruction at the Albuquerque International Sunport. Federal funding, if and when it becomes available, would be allocated through the transportation improvement plan process based on need and eligibility.
The meeting is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. Monday at the Vicente E. Griego chambers.
