Albuquerque Local Pulse: Safety Zones, Lobos Win, and Weekend Weather
Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Thursday, March 5th. We start with breaking news from last night. Police are investigating a deadly shooting in northeast Albuquerque near Menaul Boulevard and San Mateo Boulevard. Officers found a man shot around 1:30 a.m., and he later died at the hospital. The investigation continues, and we urge everyone to stay vigilant in that area.
Shifting to city hall, Councilor Joaquin Baca introduced a new bill this week to create enhanced service and safety zones in spots like Downtown, Old Town, and around San Mateo and Central. It would boost police presence, clean up trash and graffiti at bus stops, and ban sitting or sleeping on sidewalks after bars close to cut down on late-night fights and juvenile crime, especially with the Route 66 centennial celebrations coming. This means safer streets for us all, giving the mayor tools to target under-served areas.
In sports, we celebrate big wins for our Lobos. UNM beat San Diego State 81-76 in a thrilling Mountain West clash last night at The Pit, and they just promoted Ryan Berryman to full-time athletic director today for steady leadership amid conference shifts. Local high school Five Hounds also took events at the LSC indoor track championships.
On the job front, listings are up about 5% this week around the University of New Mexico, with openings in education and tech. Real estate sees median home prices holding steady near 350 thousand dollars, with quick sales in Northeast Heights.
New business buzz includes a fresh coffee spot opening Friday on Central Avenue near UNM. Weather today brings mild highs in the low 60s with light winds, perfect for outdoor plans, though watch for evening chill. Outlook stays sunny through the weekend.
Looking ahead, catch the New Mexico Ice Wolves versus El Paso Rhinos on March 7th, Marc Maron live on the 8th, and Black Label Society rocking it on the 9th. Local schools shine too, with Albuquerque's TOPSoccer program growing free sessions for kids with special needs.
And a feel-good note: Community volunteers just spruced up Rio Grande Valley State Park trails, making family hikes even better.
