""Wouldn't it make more sense to just employ those concepts in an existing, established urban fabric?" Yes. The Sawmill Community Land Trust just north of downtown is a good example of some well-design infill, that also happens to be…"

"Mike, totally agree. I mean, hell, the city should build 20-foot walls along all highways through ABQ (funded by kickstarter, of course) that would block the view of those pretty mountains that are always distracting me from watching the road.…"

"Whoops, that was supposed to go under ramon t's earlier comment - looks the reply format has changed!"

"^ Agreed, ramon t - I'd like to know the details as well. I know that area (as with most of ABQ) could use some infill - let's at least hear what the possibilities are and details around what they are asking for before making a judgement…"

"Correction- I guess it now District 2 after the redistricting.  At least Councilor Benton stays on the Council representing District 3 until the election.  It also looks like he intends to run again for the District 2 seat in October of…"

"Mayor Berry has once again shown that he has no concern for his people only his party. I hope everyone remembers this when it is time for him to run again. "

"<sigh>  Not to surprised, but still disappointed.  "

"The rumor is true. Below is my official statement on the matter (Berry will make his decision this week): As you may know, the 2012 Albuquerque City Council redistricting combined the majority of District 3 with the North Valley’s…"

"I have heard that rumor too.   I love the idea, but I'm not holding my breath.  "

"So when does this redistricting take place?   Somehow I was figuring that it would all happen after this election and Ike would no longer be my representative, but now I'm starting to think maybe he'll be representing us until…"

"Sounds great! Many of the major streets in that area could use a revamp, and San Pedro makes sense for the reasons you mention. Streetscaping, narrowing lanes (or road diets), bike lanes, and wider sidewalks could make a big difference for many of…"

"^ Albuquerque could build the tallest building in the world, and it wouldn't block the view of the Sandias, due to downtown's distance from the Sandias, and the fact that, well, the Sandias are pretty wide. Not to mention the fact that…"

"^ Agree, there should be a vote for bus system improvements as well."

"^ I think voters will likely pass the project. However, there's likely misinformation about the total cost of the project, and there's not much evidence that spending all that money will really improve the traffic situation long-term. It…"

"Sorry Hunter I see where you picked that up from. I don't do the web page for Victory Hills Neighborhood Association and the person who does lives in a world of her own. I can see where the mistake was made. But the Redistricting Committee…"
