I have communicated with NM DOT today concerning both the signal timing and the entrance ramp from I 25 NB to Rt. 165 EB.
As many of you have experienced, there has been a backup at the intersection the past two mornings during the rush hour. DOT advised me that they are working on the signal timing issues to prevent backups in any direction and are aware of our concerns. I will once again travel through the interchange on February 12 and will advise NM DOT of the situation and whether it is improved.
Concerning the ramp, I have forwarded comments to DOT and expressed ES-CA’s continuing concerns about the safety of the access onto Rt. 165. Please continue to submit your comments to the Forum and ask others to comment as well. ES-CA board members will be meeting on February 17 to discuss this issue again and decide upon a course of action.
ES-CA will continue to work on the issues at the interchange and welcome your thoughts and suggestions.
