The Clovis Public Works Committee met on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, at the North Annex, Clovis-Carver Library, 701 N. Main St., Clovis, NM. The agenda listed the meeting for 8:30 a.m. The committee approved the prior meeting minutes, recommended restriping Main Street from 21st Street to Purdue, received a city projects update from City Manager Justin Howalt, and received a police/traffic safety report from Chief Thron. No schools representative was present, so the schools update was not provided.
I just didn't print them up this time. So is this some more supposed to look? Oh, that's just a minute from home planning. Yeah, find them. You got planning and zoning. Yeah, we are. If I was any better, I could stand it. I signed it, but this is playing zoning. Where's the whiteout? Well, he needs that too. Okay, we'll go ahead and call this mean to order the public works committee. And uh Miss Fox, will we have a roll call, please? Donald Goings. Lynn Booz. Here. Lowe's. Here. Once again, I'm sorry. No worries. Uh Cliff Martin. Here. Randy Rodriguez. Here. George Jones. Jean Porter? Here. Debbie Zamora? Here. Chris Bryant. Here. Thank you. Okay, move down to approval of the minutes for January twenty-eighth of twenty twenty-six. So move for second. We have a motion and a second to approve the minute. All those in favor signify by saying I. But north of that, north of twenty-first street, it's two lane. Once you get to Purdue Street, it's two lane. So uh in discussions with Clint as well as Kevin, we have no idea why that's four lanes down through there because there's certainly not the potential to to expand it to four lanes going north or going south without buying a lot of property or moving buildings. And so uh in your packet uh you should have a proposal showing what it would look like to take that down to two lanes, and then uh we would add uh parking on the east and west side, which would give more parking for green acres, as well as if there's activities I know going on over at Marshall Middle School, it'd give more parking for there. Uh we do at the intersection of 21st uh re we re-establish the uh through right as well as the left turn bay there uh on going northbound and then coming southbound once we get to Purdue, we do reintroduce the right turn only as well on there as part of the the striping package. Another impact that this would have on us is we're also working on the uh design plans for the Lee Belt Channel Trail, which will connect uh Bob Spencer Park area to Green Acres Park, we're gonna be adding putting in an eight-foot multi-use path going in between the two. We're actually going to be widening out the sidewalks at Green Acres as well to make those eight foot paths. And that project was originally planned to go all the way to Hillcrest Park and utilize 7th Street and the sidewalks and the bike lanes that we have along there. One comment that we received from the uh NMDOT as part of the review process was actually on Main Street. And because it was four lanes, uh they were saying you're gonna need to put in an additional pedestrian hybrid crossing beacon, the flashing lights, the hawk systems like we have in front of Marshall on Commerce Street. Uh by taking it down to just two lanes, they're happy with us just having a standard uh pedestrian crossing in there because it's safer, you're not crossing as many lanes of traffic uh to get across there. So I just wanted to bring this uh to uh you guys for a recommendation, see if you guys uh agree with us as far as moving forward with the restriping that roadway between 21st Street and Purdue. And with that, Mr. Chairman, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. Well, yeah.
