Bernalillo County officials say a stretch of Coors from Blake Road to Gun Club is in need of improvements.
Efforts have improved blighted corridors, increased housing and even reduced crime, officials say.
The Bernalillo County Commission has approved $7.1 million in funding to make safety improvements on Coors Boulevard. The changes will include reduced lane widths, lower speed limits, protected bike lanes, added sidewalks, raised medians, more lighted, and better crosswalks between Blake Road and Gun Club Road.
The city's busiest roads and the future light-rail corridor have few trees, and many people vulnerable to extreme heat.
The Hopkins Fire Department responded to an apartment blaze early Sunday morning.
