Abq The Plan

August 24, 2011 by Michael Dunn

Yesterday I had the pleasure of listening to Mayor Berry speak at our “Nothing but good news” Coldwell Banker Legacy Conference about his AbqThePlan. Below are some pictures I took of different slides that were shown to us. Seems to me there are a lot of great things going on with this plan. The focus would be on large public projects enhancing our city and making it more modern so that more people want to vacation here and current residents are happy to live here. Mayor Berry visited numerous bigger more modern cities to get ideas of what other cities are doing but held strong to the fact that he does not want our city to be the same as all of the others. He is looking to make us unique! Make sure to go out and vote October 4, 2011 for or against this bond! Remember, you can’t complain about the outcome if you don’t vote

Part of this bond will connect a 50 ish mile bicycle route around Albuquerque. The dotted lines in the picture are areas that currently don’t have a bike route and are in need of completion

Anybody that has driven by this intersection knows that something needs to be done about this

From the far East side to the West side

Lots of great proposed plans for the river. Parks, Boardwalk, restaurants etc! Lots of good uses for this area.

Downtown proposed area for much more appeal.

White water rafting area was something Mayor Berry suggested but was shot down for now. How would you like to have a white water rafting facility in the Rio Grande area?!

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS?? Post a comment here, call me or email me as I would love to hear some feedback

4th of July 2011 Fireworks??

June 28, 2011 by Michael Dunn

This year has been an extremely dry year for us and there are numerous huge fires currently blazing around us. Quite frankly, what is not on fire right now? What are your thoughts on fireworks for this 4th July? There are already city ordanances in places to limit the size, db levels and height of the explosion but what about outside the city limits? Should they be banned completly? Should they be allowed to be used resposibly? What is “responsibly”? Is that even possible? It only takes one spark to start total devistation. What are your thoughts??
