MPO Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee Meeting - October 20, 2026

The Mesilla Valley MPO Active Transportation Advisory Committee met on October 20, 2026. The committee approved a recommendation to the MPO governing board to adopt a series of amendments to the FY 2024–2029 Transportation Improvement Program. Amendments included schedule, scope, and naming updates for NMDOT bridge, railroad-crossing, and I-10/I-25 projects, along with new I-10 pavement rehabilitation projects reported at $10 million, $15 million, and $12 million each (two projects). The committee clarified that the I-25 Spruce Bridge item concerns planning for a possible six-lane interstate, not construction, and that two I-10 entries described as overlapping refer to the same project. Roadrunner Transit amendments covered operations and small-bus rolling stock; reported totals were $1,772,800 for operations and $568,000 for rolling stock. The transcript’s operations funding components do not add up to its stated total.

Las Cruces staff reported that the North Motel Boulevard pedestrian crossing project is at 100% design and awaiting internal approvals before advertisement for bids; several other signal, reconstruction, and trail-connection projects were in design. The committee also received presentations on annual safety targets and system-reliability targets; no vote was taken on those presentations, and state-of-good-repair materials were unavailable, with action expected at a later meeting. Doña Ana County noted that it adopted a Target Zero goal in its comprehensive roadway and safety plan. No contract awards or vendor selections were reported.
