"The city of Albuquerque wants Rapid Transit opponents to post a $1.4 million bond in case their appeal causes construction delays in the project.Officials claim that delays would cost the city thousands of dollars a day, according to the construction contract.Officials say opponents should be responsible for up to $1.4 million in additional costs, rather than taxpayers.Opponents say it's a cheap shot to make them give up their appeal.\"It's a bunch of little guys that are pulling money out of their pocket to try and do what they believe in here,\" said Steve Paternoster, who owns Scalo restaurant in Nob Hill.Paternoster and other opponents believe that the dedicated bus lane down the middle of Central Avenue would hurt businesses and destroy the corridor's historic character.Judges have not yet said if they'll make the businesses post the $1.4 million bond."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
