Albuquerque Local Pulse: Fatal crashes, actor indicted, council meetings, economic updates, and sports highlights.
Published 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Sunday, February 8. We kick off with breaking news from our city streets. Albuquerque Police are investigating two fatal crashes from overnight. A motorcyclist died after losing control on 12th Street NW near Menaul Boulevard, slamming into a roundabout. Minutes later on Coors Boulevard and Sequoia Road NW, a rollover ejected and killed one driver in a two-car collision. We urge drivers to stay cautious as investigations continue.
Shifting to public safety, Bernalillo County prosecutors indicted actor Timothy Busfield on four counts of criminal sexual contact with a child. The charges stem from alleged abuse of twin boys during filming of The Cleaning Lady here in Albuquerque last year. Authorities emphasize their commitment to protecting our kids.
From City Hall, the Council has a packed week ahead with meetings on land use planning February 11 at the Government Center and a special session tomorrow evening. These could shape zoning around neighborhoods like the Northeast Heights, directly impacting our daily commutes and growth.
Business is buzzing. Building permits hit 23 million dollars last week, topped by nearly five million for upgrades at the Sunport rental car center. Oracle doubled job projections for Project Jupiter, promising hundreds more tech roles downtown. And the Breaking Bad house on Avenida Cesar Chavez is back on the market for 400 thousand dollars, drawing real estate eyes.
UNM Lobos basketball took another hit, falling to Boise State for their second straight loss, but local high schoolers shone with Sandia topping La Cueva in a big Class 5A win. Our weather stays mild today, sunny highs near 55 degrees with light winds, perfect for outdoor plans, though watch for evening chill through midweek.
Looking ahead, Food Truck Fridays return in March around Civic Plaza, and Grammy winner Patty Griffin plays at the Sunshine Theater this week. For a feel-good note, West Mesa students dove into STEM careers via US Navy virtual reality at their school.
