City and APS officials may team up for sports facilities
The City of Albuquerque will consider building a regional park alongside the APS' proposed Westside Stadium at a council meeting Wednesday. The school district has been eyeing the 220 acres near 98th and I-40 for the sports complex since last December. Now the City of Albuquerque may team up with APS and buy a bordering parcel of 80 acres for the regional park adding soccer, softball and baseball fields. Sanchez says the project, estimated around $7 million, would be part of a bond for city projects that residents vote on every two years. Vic Segura, who lives near 98th and I-40, says there are people in his neighborhood who still don’t support the development there but has noticed lately that both APS and city officials have been better communicating with residents. One change includes moving the APS stadium farther away from homes to 118th Street. He also says there's discussion about putting the proposed city park between homes and the stadium as a buffer. "I think it's a viable project for the neighborhood. We need to have some economic development, and we need to have growth on the Westside," said Segura. Both the city council and the APS school board will meet separately at their normal monthly meetings on Wednesday. The council will take a vote on placing the park project into bond package, which Albuquerque residents would then vote on in a special municipal election in October. The school board is expected to approve the 98th and I-40 location in order to allocate funds to buy land the stadium will then be built on.
