We want to preserve the demographics of our neighborhood
Health of Our Environment
We want native plants and clean air
Special Events
We support ideas for community projects from everyone in our community
Walkability
We walk to work 3 times more than the El Paso average, so we want to make walking comfortable and safe
Public Transit
Nine percent of us take public transit to work– that’s more than 4 times the El Paso average, so we have a high need for efficient public transit options
