University Ave Input Requested, Las Cruces Code Changes Meetings

September 11, 2024

We search 100’s of local sources so you don’t have to.
Coming to you every Monday, Wednesday and Friday

Hey Las Cruces,

This is ❤️ Live Love Las Cruces, the local newsletter that’s as vibrant and colorful as the murals of downtown Las Cruces.

Public Input on University Ave Requested….

The City of Las Cruces is conducting a multimodal corridor study along the portion of University Avenue between Interstate 10 and Interstate 25.

This portion of University Avenue also links students, residents, and visitors to the New Mexico State University campus.

Because of the corridor's proximity to campus, there are a large number of pedestrians and bicyclists that use this area to travel, commute, or recreate.

 Your input is vital in how the corridor should be improved, to improve the safety and comfort for road users. Share your input here.

The Meetings on Las Cruces Codes Changes….

The City of Las Cruces still has 2 public meetings this week about the proposed upcoming code changes in their Realize Las Cruces meetings.

The meetings are today Wednesday 11th and Thursday 12th.
