Rethink I-25

We are a community-driven campaign to stop the expansion of I-25 through the heart of Albuquerque. Instead, we want sustainable, equitable, and modern 21st-century solutions that address our transportation needs while protecting communities.

Expanding I-25 is a bad deal for Burqueños

here's why

The current proposal is a once-in-a-generation project that will impact Albuquerque's downtown and core neighborhoods and those of us who live, work, or play here, for decades to come. It will further entrench us into car dependency, sprawl and traffic deaths.

 

Tell NMDOT and Governor Lujan Grisham: Stop the expansion—rethink the future!

  • NO to more lanes

  • NO to higher speeds

  • NO to deadlier intersections

  • NO to new frontage roads

Stop the Expansion!

Ask NMDOT and MRCOG to develop a long-term plan to reduce the highway's impact on the community.

  • Alternate route for non-local traffic

  • Highway-to-boulevard conversion

  • Highway cap/lid

Develop a Long-Term Plan

The highway crossings in the city core are some of the deadliest spots for pedestrians and cyclists in Albuquerque. The highway needs repair to its crumbling infrastructure, but let's use the opportunity to incrementally improve our city and start undoing some of the historical wrongs that continue to have persistent effects. 

Tell NMDOT we want safer intersections!

Improve Pedestrian Safety!

NMDOT has a choice in which projects to pursue and how to address transportation demand. By investing in transit we can create efficient, convenient, and safe transit systems that are competitive with driving and relieve pressure on the highway system. 

Ask NMDOT to invest in transit!

  • Between cities: Improved Rail Runner

  • Within Albuquerque: Improved and expanded ART

Invest in Transit

Join the movement!

in ways big or small

We are 100% volunteer-driven and community-based.
