Councilor reports $3.3M Trinity Drive safety project, previews regional transit app and NCRTD agenda
Summary
Councilor Hand told the Transportation Board that county council approved a maintenance agreement with NMDOT for a rectangular rapid flashing beacon at Trinity Drive and NM‑502/20th Street as part of Trinity Drive safety improvements with related 2026 budget revisions of roughly $3.3 million; he also summarized upcoming NCRTD items and a regional multimodal transit app effort.
Councilor Hand, acting as council liaison to the Transportation Board, reported on a county council decision to approve a maintenance agreement with the New Mexico Department of Transportation for a rectangular rapid flashing beacon at the Trinity Drive/NM‑502 and 20th Street intersection as part of the Trinity Drive safety and ADA improvements project, and related budget revisions of about $3.3 million for 2026. He described that the county will enter a maintenance agreement with NMDOT as required for the hawk/rectangular rapid flashing beacon and that the project had missed some initial timelines.
Hand also previewed several items on the North Central Regional Transit District (NCRTD) agenda, including acceptance of the FY 2024 comprehensive financial reports and related public-facing reports, service awards, and implementing provisions tied to the open meetings act. He said Los Alamos is developing a regional multimodal transit application the region could use, with an eventual aim of statewide uptake, and noted that NCRTD’s new executive director, Nicholas Sofil, has begun soliciting feedback from board members on shortening meetings and increasing physical attendance.
Hand encouraged board members to review the council-issued legislative agenda that includes items Los Alamos will promote in the coming year. He also said he will chair the county finance subcommittee and that a meeting is planned for December; he urged members to consult the packet posted on Legistar for more details.
The council liaison report provided board members with a preview of near-term safety work and regional transit coordination; no formal board action was taken on these items during the Transportation Board meeting.
