Pieacho Street In order lo belter advertise It was anticipated by several this part of the city, a plan was al Ihe meeling lhat it would be introduced lo change Ihe a more difficult lo change the a of the street inside the city i i than that portion outside. As an example, the difficulty in the change of South Truck Hy-Pass lo Valley Drive ciled.

There are presently only three signs on the new in- a the Jack Kabbit inlerchange and the 292 i a i pertain to Las Cruets. The first is just west of the river and says "292.

Amador Avc. Exit." The second and third arc located at the 292 interchange, say "28, Mesilla Exit, one mile" and "292. Amador Ave. with an arrow to the exit. The committee feels that if 292 could be advertised at these locations along with (he signs nov up and with additional signs, as "Motel Road" and "to Molel Boulevard" it would serve lo make tourists aware that this is where the majority of the city's travel facilities are located.

As it now stands, according to Bird, a sign saying "Amador Ave. Exil" will mean very little lo tourists.
