FACTS ABOUT THE ALBUQUERQUE RAPID TRANSIT (ART) PROJECT
ART is a complex project that will cover almost nine miles of Central Avenue. Through 18 public
meetings and more than 6,600 contacts with individual stakeholders, the ART team has been receiving
input that has shaped the overall design. ART improvements include wider sidewalks wherever
feasible, a net increase in the number of trees, preservation of on-street parking, improved accessibility
and new pedestrian crossings.The overall result will be a safer, more walkable and rejuvenated Central
Avenue.
The figures below show how the ART fits into Central Avenue with and without a station. Travel lanes
and sidewalk widths will vary along the corridor.
