 Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Thursday, December 4th, 2025.

We're starting off with some exciting news about our public transportation system. City leaders announced yesterday that ABQ Ride Forward, a major redesign of our bus routes, is rolling out this Saturday, December 13th. This is being called a once-in-a-generation update informed by community feedback and industry consultants. The first phase launches on nine bus routes, which represents about ten and a half percent of the full implementation. Over the coming years, this will be rolled out in sixteen phases total, ultimately returning Albuquerque to 2019 bus service levels but with an updated configuration designed to be more convenient and reliable while serving more people and expanding weekend coverage across the city.

Speaking of city improvements, our parks are getting some much-needed attention. The City Council voted eight to one this week to allocate up to two million dollars for emergency turf repairs across our nearly three hundred parks. Albuquerque ranks twenty-fourth nationally among the hundred largest cities for our park system, with ninety-one percent of residents living within a ten-minute walk of a park. The funding will be split evenly among the three Parks and Recreation maintenance yards, and the money will be released once the fiscal year twenty twenty-five audit is completed, which is expected by mid-December. The resolution focuses on parks overrun with weeds and dead grass that have made fields unsafe or unusable.

On the public safety front, an Albuquerque man has been sentenced to ten months in prison for making violent threats against President Trump on social media. Thirty-eight-year-old Tyler Leveque pleaded guilty to posting threatening videos and messages between early January, including posts where he claimed he and others would be at a rally. Court records show he purchased a firearm locally during this time. The federal prosecutors emphasized that while the defendant argued free speech protections, threatening speech directed at specific individuals is not protected and will be investigated and prosecuted.

Looking ahead at community events, we have plenty happening around the city. The Nob Hill neighborhood is hosting their thirtieth annual Shop and Stroll holiday shopping event this evening from five to nine PM. Later tonight, the Twinkle Light Parade returns for twenty twenty-five, running from five fifteen to seven fifteen PM, also in Nob Hill, illuminating a one-mile stretch of Route Sixty-Six with free, family-friendly festivities. Tomorrow, December fifth, District Seven City Councilor Tammy Fiebelkorn will host her monthly Councilor Connect from ten to eleven AM for information important to the district.

With the holiday shopping season in full swing, it's a great time to get outside and explore what our neighborhoods have to offer. We'll wrap up by reminding everyone to stay safe and look out for one another as we head into the busy holiday season.
