First, he plans to develop an integrated, comprehensive plan for the city that involves land use, looking five, ten and even fifteen years down the road. The planning will include where and when schools, businesses and other development will occur. We're looking for input from the community. Second, Jennings said the city is constantly working on issues of transportation and roads. Solving those issues is dependent on Albuquerque doing its part, he said.
Traffic is a concern on several of the major thoroughfares.
Albuquerque mayor Jim Baca has been cooperative in working on traffic problems in all instances except Paseo del Norte Blvd., which Jennings believes should be allowed to go through Petroglyph National Monument. Another plan of Jennings' is Paseo del Volcan. 40 West to Hwy. 44, making it a true loop road. The outgoing City Council changed the road's alignment before leaving office, and now Jennings is working to change it back to the original alignment, so it can be used as a loop road in the future.
