Albuquerque residents give input on Alameda drain project

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) – There are major changes in the works to clean up an ugly drainage ditch that runs through the heart of Albuquerque.
On Saturday, dozens of people told city and county leaders what kind of changes they want made to the 9-mile Alameda drain that stretches from the Sandia Pueblo to I-40.
“One of the things I’d like to see if it’s possible is to see some planting of vegetation, so we don’t just have a bare soil surface,” said Ian Maddieso
