‘So many opportunities’: What will become of Burn Lake in Las Cruces?
LAS CRUCES, New Mexico What was once a glistening lake in west Las Cruces is now a pit filled with trash and brush.
“I want to make sure people are excited to come to this park, said Councilwoman Johana Bencomo, who said improving Burn Lake is a top priority.
Back in the 1960s, Burn Construction bought the land and removed more than three million cubic yards of dirt for highway construction, according to a 2011 presentation by the City of Las Cruces Public Works Department.
When it filled up with drainage water, the city rezoned the land and created a lake for public use. It has a capacity of 283 acre feet, or more than 92 million gallons of water.
A man well known to the police and courts is back in custody after allegedly colliding with several RCMP vehicles while trying to flee police in a stolen pickup truck. Eric Wayde Thor Johnson, 37, was arrested early morning January 5 after the Prince George RCMP came across a pickup reported stolen in Burn Lake on December 15. When the detachment s street crew unit moved in to make an arrest, the driver attempted to flee and hit the vehicles, RCMP said. Johnson was arrested along with one other person who was later released. article continues below
