UNM-Area Transit Study in Progress

The Mid-Region Coun­cil of Gov­ern­ment is con­duct­ing a pub­lic tran­sit study of the Uni­veristy of New Mex­ico, Cen­tral New Mex­ico Com­mu­nity Col­lege and the Sun­port area in Albu­querque.  The project eval­u­ates tran­sit, park­ing ser­vices and land devel­op­ment in the imme­di­ate area of UNM, CNM and the Sun­port. The project includes UNM’s North, South and Cen­tral cam­pus areas along with the imme­di­ate neighborhoods.

The pur­pose is to develop both near and long term tran­sit, land use and park­ing strate­gies to improve trans­porta­tion in the study area. MRCOG rep­re­sen­ta­tives will seek pub­lic input in two pub­lic meet­ings. On Mon­day, Oct. 22, the pub­lic is invited to the Loma Linda Com­mu­nity Cen­ter at 1700 Yale Blvd. NE from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

A sec­ond meet­ing on the UNM cam­pus will be held on Tues­day, Oct. 30 from noon to 1 p.m. at the Stu­dent Union Build­ing on cam­pus in Lobo Rooms A & B. Feedback from peo­ple attend­ing the meet­ings will be used to begin devel­op­ment of poten­tial solutions.
