Councilor Lewis’ Resolution (R-10-44) is scheduled to be heard for final action at the May 3, 2010 City Council Meeting. This resolution allocates a total of $665,000 for safety improvements at the Northwest Education Corridor around Tierra Antigua Elementary School, Tony Hillerman Middle School, and Volcano Vista High School. This will be in addition to the $6.9 million that Councilor Lewis has worked for to complete Unser Blvd. These allocations will improve traffic safety measures along Paseo del Norte, Rainbow Blvd and Universe Blvd, including, but not limited to lighting on Universe Blvd, pedestrian safety improvements, and a traffic signal at the intersection of Rainbow Blvd and Paseo del Norte.
