Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller posted the video below in commemoration of the opening of the installation of the 25 ft. metal tumbleweed as part of a massively overpriced $80 million, 8 mile-long bike trail. While Keller is enthusiastic about the massively overpriced trail (a typical mile of trail costs $500,000, not $10 million), but most trails don’t have this “lovely art.”
The Rail Trail’s 25-ft tumbleweed debuted at the Rail Yards Valentine’s Day Market.
Designed by world famous architect Antoine Predock it’s now a citywide landmark and a tribute to the man who said he “got stuck” in Albuquerque and stayed 57 years.#OneAlbuquerque#RailTrailpic.twitter.com/fAM7ZIMRh6…
