762Water and habitat for wildlife not just cows58100805884
688Random check points not only for DWI or substance use but for expired DL & vehicle insurance. My daughter had a lit firework thrown in her back seat window. The car sped off; no Lic. Pl., side swiped her. She is left w/ damage 2 pay!5858936460
674Driving restrictions or thorough exams for senior citizens. Unfortunately they tend to have slower reaction times, drive under speed limit, and cause many accidents.5777705760

1032Get rid of Art bus Central.l obstacle course. Restore Route 66 and keep it clean57577491256
788Make sure every community center has a gym. Some elders have a longer commute to find a center with gym.5798615795

847Create an ordinance allowing renters to leave their lease in they purchase a home. This is common in the US, just not here.56957956107

608Stronger police presence in downtown, especially in residential areas.5656718759
623Allow more liquor licenses to be obtained legally to businesses. Instead of an allotment allowance to where only the gate keepers can get richer. In the meantime purchasing a marijuana license to sell is a thousand times easier.5570565547

771Add trees virtually everywhere. Water the trees that are planted, too many dead trees everywhere you look. Landscape the medians of streets. More street lights on residential streets (Euclid Ave NE in Uptown had 1 light!).5479765487
945There are too many intersections that don’t have left turn arrows. It may have been fine 30 years ago, but there’s more cars on the road now. No arrow at rush hour causes people to turn on red. It’s unsafe, annoying, and needs attention.54968654163

935Real restrooms for Mariposa Park on Westside. Great park for little league, walking, cycling and more, but pit toilets and no sinks are barberic. A few flush toilets and sinks with running water would make this park 100 X better.52987952139
968Emphasizing the need to eliminate ART: The long term financial benefits far outweigh the political costs to remove it. It will revitalize the entire Route 66 retail and services industry, reintroduce the much needed pedestrian traffic.52526996165
1012There has to be dedicated places to sleep for homeless. No hanging out on the curbs.52938752235
876#1:get the homeless off the streets. Other states immediately escort them to a shelter. Drugs in most cases kept him from keeping a job paying their bills and now they won't go to a shelter because they can't take the drugs with them.52528090100
994The South Valley needs more focus. We need everything. From speed enforcement to refurbished roads and sidewalks!51967251194

616Make west side Mariposa Park user friendly. Install at least a few flush toilets and sinks. Pit toilets are disgustingly.5096505446
626Since there are cameras attached to traffic lights, automatically take a picture of all vehicles that run a red light and send them a ticket ... starting at $50 per infraction . Failure to pay within 30 days has a 25% non-payment fee added.5074625052
632Monte Vista Blvd NE creates two 5-way intersections and doesn't seem to have much of a purpose. Get rid of it and put something else there (walking space, trees, more businesses, etc)5088505740
664SunVan is having major operation issues. Pick ups, drop offs and Call When Ready, l was literally stranded 2 days in a row. I've been late for medical appts in 1 week +. They say it's drivers but they're what makes SV run. It's hard to be50100605048

916More field based programs (behavioral health and addiction treatment) that focus on outreaching homeless to link to services and support following evidence based treatment models50987250140

635Make panhandling illegal.38387310063

851Community based living for the homeless. Stabilizing centers to deescalate from flight or fight mode. Medical health and CPSWs help figure out a path to reentry that works for them. House 4-6 in a house untill ready for independent living.31984831105
769Central by UNM Add street fairs, Saturday morning markets. Evening concert, music.3194793183

981Invest in renewable energy that makes electricity bills lower or zero like Australia.251008525219
845Get traffic cameras at every major intersection and or post motorcycle officers. The number of red light runners in this city is astronomical. Safe drivers are frightened by the “traffic lights and speed limits are suggestions” mentality.25635225108
654Mobile hygiene stations. A bus or truck with showers, washers and dryers. They could also have donated clothing and hygiene itens.2597462559
1049Putting porta-potty's around homeless areas. Maybe even bring the shower trailers that they use for events around town once a week so homeless can take a shower. They are people down on their luck not animals to be treated as such24966224328
1015Many of our unhoused neighbors are hard working people who make it to work every single day. They try to wash up in gas stations and store bathrooms but are kept out. Outdoor toilets and showers will help them stay healthy and employed.24986724260
679Make sure ALL legal US citizens get services, food stamps, medicaid, free childcare etc before administering any of these services to undocumented immigrants. Legal and generational citizens should come first!2424597571

816Increase minimum wage to $15/hour No one can live on the current min wage221008322107
866t's not fair to live off of the struggling. Those that prosper should be required to pay into the community if they get tax breaks22915522109
809NEIGHBORHOOD MURAL CONTEST. Each established Albuquerque neighborhood paints a mural describing that neighborhood’s history, purpose, or unique connection to the City of Albuquerque. Voluntary, non mandatory contest.2297612299

743Stop the woke agenda at K-12 schools. Kids should learn English, math, and computer literacy.2020679587

772Raise pay rate for all healthcare employees and first responders. Raise minimum wage as well.1894771899

778Create international Indigenous events as destination events. And let them grow. Examples—Indigenous cuisine, Indigenous theater and modern dance, hip hop. These events would not be in competition with powwows and arts and crafts events1896691886
1018High speed trains connecting multiple cities18875818258
714Overpasses across Coors & Montaño shopping areas. Now pedestrian crossings are perilous for cars too. This would facilitate traffic, bring weather shelter & welcome shade, in, around & under. A boost to shopping & west side distinctiveness.1885671867
855Have a way for low income families that can’t get subsidies to provide for basic living and food needs while being able to afford to pay for rent by raising the minimum wage and lower taxes18977018117

706Restrict the building of subdivisions that are nothing but houses and garages.1786651766
607Downtown performing arts center large enough to attract broadway shows1773601745
1000How about, instead of assuming we know what our unhoused neighbors need or want, we ASK THEM what they need, how can we as their Community/City, and how we can help them heal, recover, and regain their purpose in life, whatever may be?16985816211
976When adding additional trees plant fruit trees so that fruit can be picked by those in need of food.16894616188

914Affordable solar power for the whole city. Use the freeways for solar. Every school should have solar.141008714145
813Prioritize people rather than cars. We need many safe and efficient transportation options (walking, biking, buses, cars, trains, scooters, wheelchairs).14986714106
853Raise taxes on the wealthy. Lower or end property taxes on first homes and raise them on second homes used for profit. Hoarding homes is adding to homelessness14955814127

911Send someone to Sweden and Singapore to study! Sweden has almost zero waste and in the process of elimination- creates energy they share with the community.13806713120
702Allow sex work to be legal like Australia or New Zealand but making buyer and seller get tested for disease if that's an issue and basically have a license. That's the only way since condoms break once in a while.1262141272
744Build a massive, single story 'pueblo-style' circa 1800's with cobblestone streets to provide healthy food and ensure safety for all. This could be an 'attraction' for tourists and and opportunity for the homeless to re-enter society.1271461265
1013Housing first solutions for the homeless population.12986712251
973No more free buses in the city12125992213

713How much does that cost? Could we charge a service fee for bike riders?1111363650

697RECALL CITY COUNCILORS WHO INTERFERE WITH EFFORTS TO CONTROL RENT HIKES. We cant really help the homeless unless people can actually afford housing.1195381168

859Instead of giving a luxury apartments developer millions of dollars in tax incentives to build homes that none of us can afford, tax the rich their fair share and fully fund and staff the Gateway Center to help the unhoused.997639127
841Get the burgeoning homeless population out of jails and into shelters saving tax payer dollars. Petty infractions lead to jail for people who fail to show up to hearings because they have no mailing address. Expensive and inhuman.991589109
807Stop the government from giving what little water we have to fossil fuels.89862899
638Expand the ART network but make it light rail! Drivers, riders, and city service vehicle operators just don’t understand how BRT is supposed to work.89450853

822I’m out there every month as chaplain Socks. My homeless neighbors are afraid of being hurt by gangs and those who prey upon them for what little they have. They have stories to tell. They have ideas. They don’t have voices in their own c.79857774
683There should be a 8 block area on Central where there is no traffic. Not even bikes.74625763
953Stop the sweeps of the unhoused!687266169
752Keep public transit in Abq free. The increased Metro Transit cops have helped w/ driver and passenger safety. Free bus rides mean bus drivers aren't dealing w/ money & angry riders. Reduces pollution.59455590
890Protection for the lgbtq+ community, for planed parenthood, women’s rights and for migrant citizens.592505135
827TAX THE RICH! Millionaires & billionaires should be taxed appropriately for having homes & businesses here. Unacceptable for them to have multiple homes when many people here don’t have ONE.+ Get Zorro Ranch money to Survivors598805113

694Take away freeways and replace w more public transportation and housing and business shops and parks and smaller roads04725065
686Stop criminalizing and harassing the homeless. It has been shown all over the country that sheltering is not only more humane but it also saves money. Emprisoning and using the waste disposal facilities is expensive and non-constructive.08525071
892Bus rides less cars less pollution092280108
710I've lived in 6 states. I agree with term linits. Yet none of us want too live in a police state. If the so called crime is inconsequential, don't send the person to prison or jam them up for the rest of their life. That is an act of making08402950
