May 11, 2021 Bayard council hears report on cleanup and U.S. 180 plans Written by Nickolas Seibel on May 11, 2021 By HANNAH DUMAS Daily Press Correspondent State Rep. Luis Terrazas joined Trent Doolittle, N.M. Department of Transportation District 1 engineer, for a presentation to the Bayard City Council at their regular meeting Monday, discussing a recent cleanup event as well as providing an update on recommendations for improving U.S. 180 between Hurley and Deming. The litter cleanup, originally planned for last fall, occurred April 24 after finally receiving the necessary permit to ensure a COVID-safe event. With little time to advertise, the event still brought in 48 volunteers, who along with state employees removed more than 2,600 pounds of litter from roadways in Bayard, Hurley and Santa Clara. The Silver City Grant County Chamber of Commerce sponsored the cleanup.
