The Mesilla Valley MPO Technical Advisory Committee voted Feb. 5 to recommend a package of Transportation Improvement Program amendments to the MPO governing board, including changes to NMDOT projects and two Doña Ana County bridge replacement entries.
Dominic Loya, presenting the second‑quarter FFY 2026 amendments, described multiple items: LC0038 (I‑25 Engler interchange lighting and safety work, NMDOT lead) moving to FFY2027; LC00330 (I‑10 bridge replacements, NMDOT lead) with a mile‑marker adjustment affecting state of good repair measures; LC00540 (Doña Ana County local bridge replacement) with an increase in construction funding by $2,369,766 in FFY2026; and a new entry LC00541 (Doña Ana County, local bridge replacement phase 2 for Bridge 7703) programmed in FFY2028 with a listed amount for that fiscal year.
BPAC recommended the package at its prior meeting, and TAC staff requested that the TAC recommend approval to the MPO governing board. Harold Love moved the motion to recommend the TIP amendments; Richard Henley seconded; the committee approved the recommendation by voice vote.
The transcript includes one numerical inconsistency in how the new total for LC00540 was recorded; the increase of $2,369,766 was stated clearly, while the transcript’s phrasing for the project’s new total was garbled. MPO staff should confirm the precise new total in the TIP documentation before publication or action by the governing board.
The amendments will be transmitted to the MPO governing board per the TAC vote.
