Albuquerque City Council to address key issues in final meeting of 2024
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The Albuquerque City Council will address several key issues and give a stamp of approval to some of them in the final meeting of the year.
City councilors are expected to do a final vote Monday on an automated parking enforcement system. If approved, it would be similar to the speed camera system that sends people a ticket in the mail. Right now, officers determine if the parking meter you paid for ran out.
Councilors will also address a proposal to require landlords to equip their units with an air conditioning device that can keep temperatures at or below 80°.
Councilors will also take up a plan to set up a city storage facility for carts left abandoned on their city property. Part of the proposed plan would also involve charging businesses $20 for each cart found on city property.
Additionally, councilors will also vote on a proposal to expand bike lanes throughout the city. The proposed plan also involves a more-connected bike system downtown.
