A parent addressed the BPAC during public comment, describing repeated high speeds on Campo Street near the Bridges 18-21 program and urging action to protect program participants who walk from parking areas and bus stops.
The speaker said her daughter, who attends the Bridges 18-21 program, sometimes walks between the parking area and school and that the lack of crosswalks and high speeds create an ongoing safety risk. She told the committee she had contacted NMDOT and the city and had been referred among agencies, and that she had received inquiries from the school district about liability rather than a clear mitigation plan.
Committee members accepted the concern as appropriate for BPAC follow-up, noted that Campo Street was set for reconstruction on another segment and offered to provide contacts for enforcement and public-works follow-up. A committee member offered to connect the speaker with Las Cruces Police Department community outreach and identified Gary Skelton at City Public Works as a point of contact for traffic-calming studies.
The committee did not adopt a formal action at the meeting but recorded the public safety concern and offered pathways for the speaker to pursue police monitoring and city traffic-calming options.
