À propos de cet audio
We wake up today to quiet, mild weather over the metro. Forecasters at KOB say we stay warm and sunny again, with highs in the mid 50s and light winds, before a colder front and a small chance of rain arrive early next week. That means today is good for getting outside along the Bosque, last minute shopping along Central, or catching a game without worrying about snow or icy roads.
In breaking local news, Albuquerque police are investigating a fatal crash on the Westside near Paseo del Norte and Golf Course. ABQ Raw reports westbound Paseo is closed in that area, so we should avoid it or give ourselves extra time on the Westside commute and detour down to Coors or Ellison.
Also in the past day, ABQ Raw reports officers responded to a stabbing in Northeast Albuquerque. The suspect barricaded inside but was ultimately arrested. No ongoing threat to the public, but we stay alert around that neighborhood east of San Mateo and north of Menaul as detectives continue their work.
From City Hall, we are still feeling the ripple effects of Mayor Tim Keller’s reelection and the coming change at the top of APD. City Desk reports that Chief Harold Medina is planning retirement sometime during this new term, and there is a behind the scenes debate over whether the next chief should come from one of the current deputy chiefs or a wider national search. That choice will shape how our city moves forward now that the long federal consent decree is over.
On the housing front, the Greater Albuquerque Association of Realtors is forming a new Government Affairs Committee to track City Council decisions on zoning, property taxes, and rental rules. They say this is in response to rising concern about affordability and property rights across Albuquerque and the East Mountains. For us, that means more organized pressure on councilors as they debate how and where we build new housing.
In business, the Albuquerque Journal reports that space startup Mantis Space has picked Albuquerque for its headquarters and manufacturing, and the city has activated a rail spur near the Sunport to support new industrial jobs. That could mean a few hundred new high tech and logistics positions over the next few years, especially around Gibson and University.
On the fun side, holiday concerts are filling the calendar. The Journal highlights the Santa Fe Desert Chorale’s Carols and Lullabies concerts coming to Albuquerque, and downtown venues near Civic Plaza and along Gold are hosting local bands tonight and tomorrow, so parking around 3rd and Copper may be tight.
In sports, Lobo football has announced a handful of early signees and extended head coach Jason Eck, while high school basketball is in full swing, with La Cueva and Volcano Vista both near the top of state rankings this week.
Our feel good story today comes from KOB, where the community continues to rally around a Bernalillo girl fighting a rare childhood cancer, with local schools and businesses organizing small fundraisers from Rio Rancho to the Westside. It is another reminder of how our region shows up for families in crisis.
