MLK Separated Bicycle Lane Pilot Project Dedication

Today, Mayor Tim Keller and DMD Director Jennifer Turner joined the community to dedicate the MLK Separated Bicycle Lane Pilot Project!

Now it’s your turn to experience it. Ride along Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, check out the different types of bicycle lane protection, and share your thoughts through the City’s survey.

Your feedback will help inform the City’s evaluation of the pilot project. Whether you ride MLK regularly or are checking it out for the first time, take a few minutes to experience the improvements and let the City know what you think.

The portion of the North Diversion Channel Trail between Indian School and I-40 that was under construction is now open.

Everyone has been asking about the status of the North Diversion Channel Trail construction with regard to the opening of Balloon Fiesta.

Here is what they say on the project site: “The North Diversion Channel Trail project Phase 1 from Indian School Rd NE north to the I-40 underpass is expected to be completed by Saturday October 3, 2026. During the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, October 3–11, cyclists may park at the identified lot and use the designated route shown on the diagram below to access the trail and head north.”
