City Council's vote back in April against a special assessment district that would have provided private financing for the improvement of Sonoma Ranch Blvd. is going to cost the Las Cruces Public Schools $1 million dollars. LCPS will now have to build a "temporary road" north from the location pictured at right to provide secondary access to Monte Vista Elementary School which opens next month. Sadly, this costly temporary road will be ripped out when the final four lane version of Sonoma Ranch Boulevard is constructed at this same location.
In the midst of budget cuts, classroom teacher layoffs, and other austerity measures, could LCPS use the $1 million it will spend on the temporary road for something that makes more sense? Apparently city councilors, except for the mayor, did not consider this unintended consequence back in April when they cast their job-killing votes.
