MPO staff outline updates to Metropolitan Transportation Plan; data error in federal database corrected
Summary
MPO staff reviewed major updates to the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP 02/1950) including removal of a proposed rail spur, recalibrated maintenance cost projections, updated vehicle-miles-traveled figures after a federal data error was corrected, and an updated active-mobility map.
Mesilla Valley MPO staff presented proposed updates to the region’s long-range Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP 02/1950), describing changes to project listings, cost projections and supporting maps ahead of governing-board adoption.
Dominic Loya, MPO staff, said the plan extends the MPO’s prior plan through 1950 (titled Metro Metropolitan Transportation Plan 02/1950) and reflects shifts in project timing and feasibility. "A study was done for the Las Cruces Innovation Industrial Park, and the recommendation was not to advance a rail line due to cost and the lack of infrastructure," Loya said, explaining why the rail project was removed from the draft plan.
