This response is from City of Rio Rancho administration.
The crosswalk previously located at the intersection of Cabezon Boulevard and Western Hills Drive was moved this past spring to a new area on Cabezon Boulevard east of its previous location. This change was made to provide enhanced safety for those attempting to cross Cabezon Boulevard. A public meeting was held on February 16, 2011, at the Cabezon Community Center to get input from residents about the proposed crosswalk shift.
In reference to adding a traffic signal or additional stops signs to the intersection of Cabezon Boulevard and Western Hills Drive, this intersection has been studied and data indicated a traffic signal or four-way stop was not warranted using national standards the city’s Public Works Departments adheres to.
The city would like to place a roundabout at this intersection in the future to improve traffic flow, etc. Currently, funding for a roundabout at this location is not available (average cost for new roundabout construction/installation is $300,000 to $400,000).
To report future issues to the City of Rio Rancho directly, please visit the city’s Web site at http://www.ci.rio-rancho.nm.us and click on the “Citizen Question Forms” link located on the left side of the main home page.
