International District Safety & Quality of Life Feedback

Your voice will help shape how we prioritize safety, cleanup, outreach, and communication in the International District / East Central corridor.

Project Overview

The International District is one of Albuquerque’s most important and most visited areas. It’s also a place where residents, employees, and visitors have shared ongoing concerns related to safety and quality of life.

This page is a place for two-way communication:

You share what you’re seeing and experiencing
We share what we’re learning and how it informs next steps

Primary action: Please take the short survey below.

Why We're Asking Now

Why We’re Asking Now

Over the past year, the City and APD have focused additional attention and resources in and around the International District / East Central corridor. We want to understand:

How safe people feel today
Which issues are most affecting daily life
Whether recent efforts are noticeable
Where concerns persist and what would help most

Your feedback will help us focus on what matters most to the community and communicate progress more clearly.

Who This Is For

Please share your feedback if you:

Live in Albuquerque, and
Live, work, visit, or travel through the International District / East Central area (even occasionally)

You do not need to have had a recent incident to participate. We want to hear from people with a wide range of experiences—positive, negative, and everything in between.

What We Want to Hear From You

The survey focuses on a few key areas:

Safety perceptions
How safe you feel in the area and how that has changed over time.
Quality-of-life conditions
Issues that can shape daily experience—like lighting, sidewalks, trash, visible drug activity, property crime, and other conditions.
Visibility of recent efforts
Whether you have noticed increased activity, coordination, or resources, and whether those efforts are making a difference.
Reporting and support pathways
What makes it easier or harder to report issues, and what types of response you trust.
Locations and solutions
Where concerns are most persistent and what single change would improve things most.

FAQs

How Your Feedback Will Be Used

Your responses will help Albuquerque and APD:

Identify the issues residents believe are most urgent
Understand what feels improved and what still feels unresolved
Pinpoint locations where concerns persist
Improve how we communicate with residents about actions taken and next steps
Inform coordination with partners (including cleanup, outreach, and support services)

This is not a “one-and-done” survey. The goal is to use community feedback to guide decisions and then report back.

What Happens Next

Here’s what you can expect after the survey closes:

Review & analysis
We’ll review survey results to understand priorities, themes, and location-based concerns.
Share back what we heard
We will post a summary of key findings on this project page.
Next steps & updates
As decisions are made and efforts continue, we’ll share updates here so residents can track progress over time.

We will include clear “What we heard / What we’re doing” updates so residents can see how feedback connects to action.

How This Differs From Reporting an Emergency

This survey is for feedback and longer-term planning. If you need immediate help:

Emergency: Call 911
Non-emergency police response: Use the City/Police non-emergency line
City services (trash, lighting, sidewalks, etc.): Use 311 (or the City’s service request system)

If you are ever unsure whether a situation is urgent, prioritize safety and contact emergency services.

FAQ

A: Yes. We plan to post a summary of what we heard and what comes next on this page after the survey closes.
