One thing <\/p>\n

clear from today’s story about Montaño Bridge being too noisy with four lanes: Marty hates anything that gets in his way. OK, who <\/p>\n

doesn’t. Still, Montaño has been Marty’s reason-for-being and nothing is going to stop him from getting his way. After all, he <\/p>\n

didn’t hesitate to build a 4 lane road when the agreement was for two.<\/p>\n

So, is he just going to roll over regarding Paseo? He <\/p>\n

found millions for the millionth upgrade of the convention center but can’t find $800,000 for Paseo? That’s about 5% of the projected <\/p>\n

costs and just a little icing for NM insatiable road building industry. What’s the real story here? Just preparing the public for some <\/p>\n

other tactic? mjh<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

ABQjournal: 4-Lane Monta\u00f1o to Be Too Noisy<\/a> By Andrea Schoellkopf, Journal Staff Writer<\/p>\n

A four-lane Monta\u00f1o Bridge <\/p>\n

will exceed noise level requirements for the area, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers report said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“There’s dumb and <\/p>\n

dumber and then there’s dumbest,” was Albuquerque Mayor Martin Ch\u00e1vez’s reaction Tuesday to a report on potential impacts of increasing <\/p>\n

the lanes on the bridge. “The notion adding two lanes to a four-lane bridge is going to increase some noise: Of course it’s going to!” <\/p>\n

[mjh: he said with a vein throbbing in his forehead and wisps of steam coming out of his ears]<\/span><\/p>\n

ABQjournal: Paseo Extension Cut to Two Lanes<\/a> By Andrea <\/p>\n

Schoellkopf, Journal Staff Writer<\/p>\n

Building a bridge across the arroyo avoids the permit process but adds about $800,000 to the <\/p>\n

project’s cost.<\/p>\n

Original designs called for a four-lane road divided by a median. Castillo said the scaled-back plan will prepare <\/p>\n

the site for four lanes but will only pave the two lanes on one side of the median.<\/p>\n

“We’re just building one side at this <\/p>\n

time,” Castillo said. “We had to reduce the cost because of the bridge.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
