Top issues during term (14)(Roads)
Road Maintenance and Capital Projects
Staff noted any required road improvements would be obligated through a future traffic impact analysis paid through the development process.
Traffic congestion near Zenith and NM 528
Not stated; improvements would involve city and NMDOT funding.
Southern Boulevard Phase IIA Reconstruction (Nicklaus Channel)
$5.64M construction plus $684K oversight, with only about 15% local match paid via state grant funds.
NMDOT handling of the NM 528 corridor
State inaction on 528 access is blocking commercial development that would add tax revenue to the city.
Infrastructure and Capital Improvement Plan FY 27-31
The plan totals $310.1 million for FY 2027, with $266 million of growth-related projects unfunded so far.
Five-Year Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan
Sets the stage for five years of capital spending, though it carries no legal spending authority beyond FY 2027.
Loma Colorado Boulevard Extension Design
$1.98 million for design; construction would follow later.
Springer Drive reconstruction
About $2.9 million from the voter-approved 2026 road bond.
Barbara Loop Reconstruction
$3.27 million project, with about $1.9 million covered by a state grant.
Western Hills Drive Reconstruction
$2.34 million total, with NMDOT grant funding, city general funds, and utility funds covering the cost.
Black Arroyo Wildlife Park plat and right-of-way dedication
No cost to residents; the land dedication adds right-of-way at no acquisition expense to the City.
NMDOT road fund grant for ADA fixes
Brings in $150,000 in grant funds against a $50,000 local match.
Rainbow Boulevard future right-of-way protection
Setbacks could shrink buildable area on abutting lots, though acquisition itself is decades away.
Tampico subdivision traffic and dirt-road impacts
The developer paves Aurora and Vatapa to the subdivision edge, but Nogales stays dirt — the city keeps footing the grading bill.
