Submitted by Sara Montoya on Monday, June 17th, 10:33 am

Hunters still have a chance to get a license to hunt deer or javelina in the 2013-2014 season. The New Mexico Game and Fish Department is holding an online sale later this month of more 2,500 deer hunting licenses and nearly 900 javelina licenses.

The department says that each year there are leftover licenses from the department's annual drawing for hunting permits, especially in the case of javelinas. Javelinas area hog species found state-wide.

The sale starts at 10 a.m. on June 26 and is open to all New Mexicans. An online account is required to purchase a hunting license; more information can be found on the department's web site. Permits become available for purchase by anyone, including out-of-state residents, on June 27 at 10 a.m.

CDOT Improves Safety through Passing Lanes for US 160 West of Durango

Submitted by Sydney Hernandez on Saturday, June 15th, 1:37 pm

A restriping project by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has helped motorist traveling on US 160 between Durango and Mancos. There are new passing lanes in both directions and the project will be fully completed this week with installing passing zone signs.

“We know this highway has both commuters, who are typically higher speed drivers, and tourists unfamiliar with the roadway, who are typically lower speed drivers,” CDOT Traffic and Safety Engineer Mike McVaugh said. “Based on our analysis, we determined we could create an alternating passing lane opportunity for both eastbound and westbound traffic. These types of operational changes provide a big cost-benefit—and in this case, a very big safety benefit as well.”
