Intersection Signalisation at Highway 180 and Pinos Altos Road has been REPAiRED.

ROAD ADVISORY
4-WAY Stop– Silver City Area
Hwy 180 “Silver City” and the intersection of NM 15 “Pinos Altos” will have a 4-way stop in operation until repairs can be made to the signal light control box. Motorists are asked to reduce speed, obey posted signs, and be cautious of personnel and equipment in the area. The 4-way may be in effect for up to two weeks.

It looks like someone slid into it or ran into it somehow and demolished it and took out signs, too.

At the Nov. 26, 2019, Silver City Town Meeting, Lane Porter, Boy Scouts of America, Troop 110, described a project he completed with the help of 25 volunteers and city employees. The project was building a retaining wall, of concrete block donated by Southwest Concrete and Paving Inc., along the Big Ditch between Kelly and Market streets, complete with periwinkle plantings. The wall will prevent erosive soil movement onto a sidewalk. Porter said completion of the project met one of the requirements necessary to earn the highest Scout ranking of Eagle. From viewing the slides Porter presented, it appeared the wall was about 50 feet in length and approximately three feet high.

Awareness is Key to Prevention

Silver City -- The holiday season is here and Silver City Police and Fire officials are urging the public to be aware of potential hazards and to take extra precautions to insure a safe, healthy and happy holiday season.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, some 30% of house fires and nearly 40% of home fire deaths occur between December and February. Holiday dinners with friends and family are a cornerstone of holiday gatherings. Fire Chief Milo Lambert warns that most house fires start in the kitchen, and he urges homeowners to make sure they have a fire extinguisher rated for cooking fires on hand, and that they know how to use it.
