Updated Designs for Albuquerque Rapid Transit

After three years of public input, the latest in Albuquerque Rapid Transit station designs and lane alignments are online on the ART website (www.brtabq.com).

On the site, people can see the newest station renderings and their lighting designs, as well as lane configurations and cross sections of those alignments along neighborhoods of Central Avenue that will be served by ART. They represent designs that are about 90% complete. To see the new designs, just go to www.brtabq.com and click on “Stations” on the left side menu.
