Chair
Los Alamos County Transportation Board

At our last Transportation Board meeting, Oct. 3, 2024, we received a presentation and took public comments on the FY25 Snow and Ice Control Plan. The plan was largely the same as last year, adding Camp May Road unconditionally as a Priority 2.

There will also be an enhanced educational outreach regarding public expectations on snow days. For example, do not park on the street if possible, as this inhibits snow removal. We approved the plan unanimously with the recommendation to move the North Mesa Stables to Priority 2 (from Priority 3) and to add the North Mesa Stables as a Category B County Facility.

Councilor Hand brought a deer whistle to show us, which, when attached to a vehicle, will create a sound alerting deer and other wildlife to our approach. They only cost about $1, and may soon be available from the County.

Our next meeting will be at 5:30 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 7 in Council Chambers. The agenda will include a Mid-Block Crossing Policy, NM-4 Crossing and Multi-Use Trail, and Los Alamos County Design and Construction Standards Update.
