San Luis council members report meetings with State Transportation Board and legislators after Day at the Capitol
Summary
Council members said they met state transportation officials and members of the Legislature during a Day at the Capitol event to advocate for regional road and traffic projects including a Main Street/B Street traffic signal request for $257,000 and other funding requests for county and municipal road work.
Council members reported on recent state‑level meetings and a regional transportation site visit during the council’s summary of current events.
Mayor Nieves Radeo and council members said delegates attended a State Transportation Board meeting in Yuma and toured the Yuma Proving Grounds. Council members said a colonel at the proving grounds told them the facility conducts about 80 tests per week and receives 5,000 to 10,000 visitors annually; council members described appreciation for recent US‑95 road improvements and said they will continue to advocate for remaining funding on the regional US‑95 project.
Council members also reported on a Day at the Capitol trip to Phoenix where they met with staff for Governor Hobbs, Senate leadership and local legislators, and League of Arizona Cities representatives to press for funding for several local projects. Council members identified specific projects discussed: a traffic signal at Main Street and B Street with an estimated cost of $257,000; an extension of County 25th to Avenue B estimated at $750,000; and work on Avenue D and E (as discussed at the meeting). Council members thanked staff who organized the trip, including Armando, Jenny and Francia, and congratulated newly seated council members for participating in the advocacy meetings.
Speakers said legislators were receptive to hearing from a border community and that the meetings were productive; no formal commitments or grants were announced during the council meeting.
The summary of current events was made pursuant to statute as cited in the meeting.
