BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION. The University of Idaho (UI) is developing a Center for Organic Studies at property near Sandpoint, Idaho previously gifted to the Regents for such use. The property does not have adequate electric service. To extend electric service, the local utility, Northern Lights, Inc, must place new service delivery equipment on Regents property. The local utility requires an easement for placement of the service requested by University staff for the operation of the Center.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION. Regional transportation planning requires up-to-date and accurate geospatial datasets that document a range of landscape variables within urbanizing areas. These datasets are inputs to a range of transportation modeling efforts and are also required to develop long range transportation plans that the El Paso Metropolitan Planning Organizations (EPMPO) is required to submit on a regular basis. The project activities would focus on compilation of geospatial data for the New Mexico planning area of the EPMPO and this would include the areas of Sunland Park, Xxxx Xxxxxxxx Highway area (NM 136), Xxxxxxx NM, and areas east to Chaparral and into Otero County. The product of this compilation effort would be a geodatabase that would provide support to the EPMPO and in turn to the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) for transportation planning, related environmental research, and overall documentation of these efforts. Specific efforts of the EPMPO and NMDOT that would benefit from this work would be Smart Growth and other initiatives that seek to advance comprehensive transportation planning with a reduced environmental footprint, greater energy efficiencies, and lower public costs.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION. The City Council recently reviewed the proposed Agreement for Maintenance of Traffic Control Signals and EVP System at the work session on November 16, 2020. The agreement defines ownership, maintenance, and on-going cost participation for installation of the proposed new traffic signal on Lexington Avenue at Target Road as part of the Lexington Avenue Improvement project. The new traffic signal would provide controlled access to the proposed third phase of the Lexington Station Development site. A copy of the proposed signal agreement is provided in Attachment A. The 2013 Master Planned Unit Development (PUD) agreement for the Lexington Station commercial site includes access and cost participation requirements related to the proposed Target Road traffic signal. The master PUD agreement states that full development of the Lexington Station commercial property will include a new access driveway aligned with Target Road to replace the current access point along Lexington Avenue. The new access is required to include the proposed traffic signal at Target Road based on a completed traffic study. The master PUD agreement further requires the developer of the Lexington Station site to pay for or accept an assessment against the project property for the cost of the access improvements, including the traffic signal. The developer for Lexington Station Phase 3 is currently working with the property owners of the Arby’s site and the Big O Tires site to determine if they wish to gain access to the future Target Road signalized intersection through a shared access agreement and participate in the project costs. The three other traffic signals along Lexington Avenue at County Road E, Grey Fox Road and Red Fox Road would continue to be governed by the existing signal agreements approved in 1990. The City Attorney has reviewed the proposed Agreement for Maintenance of Traffic Control Signals and EVP System document. Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
