RE: Meeting Cancellation & Status Report
The regularly scheduled meeting for September 15 , 1993 has been
cancelled. The next meeting is tentatively set for October 13 ,
1993 .
MPO Staff has been working on an analysis of a developer initiated
proposal for future access to the Picacho Hills area. ETZ approval
for new subdivisions in this area had been delayed until a master
plan (including transportation) could be approved. The TAC
approved the proposal for that area and then divided it into two
separate development issues . One strictly involves access to
Picacho Hills . The other deals with Shalem Colony Trial and its
future as an important north/south corridor west of the Rio Grande.
The "Picacho Hills Alternative Access Plan" is ready to be brought
before the public. MPO staff has scheduled a hearing to collect
public comments on Thursday, September 16, 1993 at 7:30 pm in the
Las Cruces City Council Chambers. From this hearing, MPO Staff
hopes to address all relevant public comment before presenting an
amendment to the Major Thoroughfare Plan for Policy Committee
consideration at the MPO' s regularly scheduled meeting on October
13 , 1993 . The ETZ Commission has already seen the proposal and
approved it .
The other proposal deals with Shalem Colony Trail' s widening,
realignment, and/or possible new construction. It requires further
research and will be ready for discussion on October 13 , 1993 .
Staff will be asking for Policy Committee direction on this matter.
In addition, Transit will also present an item for Policy Committee
consideration at next month' s meeting.
