The City of Las Cruces Planning Department, in conjunction with New Mexico State University and the surrounding neighborhood, developed the University Avenue Corridor Plan (UACP) in 1992. The intent of the UACP is to make the neighborhoods north of University Avenue more compatible with the NMSU campus by guiding future decisions on land use, urban design, transportation, landscaping, and enforcement issues.
In the area of transportation, the UACP specifically identified the location of new bicycle facilities along the north-south roadways that lead from Las Cruces and terminate at the campus' northern boundary, primarily El Paseo Road, Espina Street, and Solano Drive. In conjunction with needed bicycle facilities, the Plan hopes to improve sidewalks and street lighting within the corridor.
