Unsung Hero
We At Urban Aggression would like to congratulate Senior Las Cruces City Planner Mr. Andy Hume for receiving the Unsung Hero Community Champion Award. Molina Healthcare of New Mexico recently recognized his efforts in implementing the Safe Routes To School program, which provides better bicycle infrastructure and education for schools, providing children a safe & healthy alternative way to get to school.
Mr. Hume is a planner for the local Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and has been the crucial link between the community and the powers-to-be. He helps communicate ideas and concerns with city council as-well-as works to secure funds for future bicycle facilities. Mr. Hume has set a goal for the City of Las Cruces to become a recognized Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclist. A formidable task we know he can accomplish. We hope more of Andy’s hard work pays off in the near future. Bureaucracy and funding have proven formidable opponents to real on the ground improvements in facilities but we know with support from local cyclists, he can help this city get moving in a healthier direction.
Andy can also be found out-and-about at the various local events riding his bicycle. Congrats again and thanks for all your help!
Thanks to efforts from NMDOT, Las Cruces and El Paso, the pilot program for a bus commuter line between the two cities will begin August 31st. Another line will cover the 25 miles to White Sands Missle Range.
One-way tickets will be only $3 and pick up points include downtown Las Cruces, NMSU, Anthony and downtown El Paso. Even thought the program only runs durning the weekdays and within a three hour window during the morning and evening hours, it is a start. Hopefully the foundation for improving regional transit systems.
With this new connection, anyone can load their bike in downtown or NMSU and meet up with buddies anymore in EP!
enjoy my friends!
