Supporting A More Active Lifestyle
14 October 2005 - 12:00pm
The Albuquerque Alliance for Active Living encourages proper pedestrian planning for creating more livable communities.
"Development in the Albuquerque region is, for the most part, based on the movement of cars, and the livability of our communities often suffers...
Every level of government, from the federal level to the local community, provides funds for infrastructure and can help create walkable neighborhoods and safer streets. Right now, there is an opportunity for our elected officials to do this by developing a Walkable Neighborhoods Grant Program at the Mid-Region Council of Governments (MRCOG)."
