Somewhere on the way to completely lost in the heated debate over Albuquerque Rapid Transit (ART) has been the proposed bus, bus line and its operator, ABQ Ride. Utilizing the bus system’s long-time most popular corridor, by far, the proposed ART line along Central is seen by opponents as only, and inefficiently, improving what is… Read More BB’s Duke City Fix Post, 7.26.16: Q&A with ABQ Ride
Regarding the Auditing Albuquerque Bike Lane Effort (AABLE), it’s early and BB’s expecting some reinforcements with the bike lane width counting soon <taps fingers upon table in impatient manner>.

This report is the second produced in response to Albuquerque being designated a… Read More Central & San Mateo: Making Meaningful Changes to a Highly Dangerous Intersection

You too can join the “AABLE” effort, measurement details found here at a recent Duke City Fix posting. Below are some hot, as in it was damn hot standing on… Read More Sexy New Burque Bike Lane Measurement Pics: Hubba-Hubcap

Both were at nasty pedestrian crossings. Wednesday night, the 13th, someone was killed at Gibson and Carlisle. Only hours later, another pedestrian… Read More Another Pedestrian Death at Central and Coors: Will A.R.T. Help?
Last week’s post concerned the existence and measurement of bike lanes, and “AABLE,” our effort to crowdsource measurement of them (including you!) will be on-going. Hope you can help out. Email me if you have questions, gripes, insights, and especially measurements for me. Meanwhile, let’s zoom past the rather horrific world of 2016, assume we’ll make it… Read More BB’s DCF Post – 7.19.16: Albuquerque Rapid Transit (A.R.T.) and Everything After
