Questionnaire
The City of Jal is conducting a Relief Route Study to determine the need and feasibility of constructing a relief route to relieve traffic congestion on NM 128 through Jal. This questionnaire is intended to help us understand how you use NM 128, if you might use a relief route, what your needs and concerns are, and other information pertinent to the study.
