87111 · Northeast Heights · Albuquerque, NM
John B. Robert is a Northeast Heights neighborhood on Albuquerque's east side, a grid of streets between Juan Tabo Boulevard and Tramway Boulevard. It takes its name from the John B. Robert Dam and spillway, which stands where the Bear Canyon Arroyo meets Juan Tabo and was built for the metropolitan arroyo flood control authority. Bear Canyon Open Space runs along the southern edge, and the paved Arroyo del Oso and Bear Canyon bike trail heads west from Juan Tabo toward Oso Grande Park. Tramway Boulevard, on the east side, carries traffic north to Paseo del Norte and south to Interstate 40.
The name honors the flood authority's first executive engineer, hired in 1963, whose dam and ponding basin were sized to hold back a hundred-year flood. Film crews later used the concrete spillway for scenes in Breaking Bad, which turned it into a minor stop for visitors.
Ancala Village is the one sub-community recorded within it.
