Lunch with Mayor Berry
Members of the EDo and Huning Highland Boards met with the Mayor and key members of his staff on Tuesday, July 23rd. City Councilor Roxanna Meyers also attended.
The two key issues discussed were the coming Central Avenue Complete Street Plan, and the potential purchase of the now long-vacant First Baptist Church site, and redevelopment under the Innovate ABQ proposal, with participation from UNM, the City, the County, and MRCOG.
Board members reminded our City officials of the successful redevelopment strides taken by our neighborhood over the past decade, and our belief that these two projects will build successfully on those efforts. This is good for all who live and who visit Albuquerque. Great cities have Great Downtowns.

311 Online
Our City government has a great system for reporting problems like weeds, trash, abandoned vehicle, graffiti, malfunctioning traffic signals or street lights, pot holes, and the like. Please go to the City website at cabq.gov and report. Our experience is that the follow-up is excellent. If you are mobile, calling 3-1-1 is still a great option, too.

Points of View We Like
Paul Krugman gives a shout-out to the economic necessity and future success of walkable cities in a recent column "Stranded by Sprawl." The goals of the EDo Master Plan include "daily needs within walking distance," "quality transit," and "a variety of housing types, rental and for sale." Welcome to our future!
