The News-Bulletin: Commuter van halts rides to <\/p>\n

Albuquerque<\/a> by Jane Moorman News-Bulletin Staff Writer; jmoorman@news-bulletin.com<\/p>\n

Los Lunas Commuters using the Village of <\/p>\n

Los Lunas’ transportation van to travel to jobs or school in Albuquerque each day are having to scramble to find rides. …<\/p>\n

The <\/p>\n

commuter van had a limited route into Albuquerque with stops at the University of New Mexico and the hospitals.<\/p>\n

Otero said there <\/p>\n

was light use by area residents but there were several established riders who depended upon it. …<\/p>\n

“We are working as hard as we <\/p>\n

can to get the Rail Runner up and running,” said Chris Blewett, director of transportation and planning services for Mid-Region Council <\/p>\n

of Governments, which is coordinating the commuter rail project.<\/p>\n

Originally Gov. Bill Richardson set the start-up date as November <\/p>\n

of this year, but now that date has been moved to late 2005 or early 2006.<\/p>\n

Work on the rail platforms in Los Lunas and Belen has <\/p>\n

not begun. Blewett said construction should begin in early October in Los Lunas for sure, but negotiation with the Burlington Northern <\/p>\n

Santa Fe Railroad could delay the Belen construction.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Otero said his department is canceling the commuter van in <\/p>\n

preparation for developing additional routes within the Los Lunas area to take commuters to the rail station, which will be <\/p>\n

located at Courthouse Road and the railroad tracks<\/strong>.
