If it comes down to it, and the AG allows the city to place the question on the November ballot, or if the county decides to but it on the county ballot, how will you vote for the Paseo/I-25 project?
Keep in mind, 50 million dollars is at stake, and if it fails, this intersection probably won't face attention for another 10 years, if that. The city council will meet in less than a month, to see if it can pass the council. The council needs 7 of 9 for the project to pass.
This is a rendering of the final design for the project.
It'd be a much bigger fan of the city/county bond if out-of-city/county residents had to pay a toll. They may be supporting city businesses through their gross receipt taxes paid, but they're clogging up our roads and polluting our air (no smog check for Sandoval county), and in all honesty, this project would be way unnecessary without just their cars.

I couldn't agree more! You really hit the nail on the head.

I'm undecided on the measure. Though I might support it, I am not convinced in the efficacy of such projects in actually solving traffic problems. Unless I see a thorough reason why I should vote for it, I think I'm apathetic enough to vote no. I rarely utilize that corridor and feel that if the project were approved and completed it'd just encourage MORE traffic in the future. But my vote is likely to change depending on what I read and see about it. If I feel like it'll benefit the whole than I'm for it, and I do think if it's approved it shouldn't be a city/county project but a regional/state project. As it has been stated, Sandoval County's residents make great use of that interchange and unless they are paying a share of it, than it's an absolute "no" from me. If they ARE paying a share of it, which I'm sure would be likely (since I think this would end up being a state project anyway, I'm actually confused because of all of this. Is this just a county/city thing or a state thing?), then I might vote yes.
