Which streets will be improved?

The City will focus on streets with poor and problematic road conditions driven by data. Streets will be chosen based on a national standard for street conditions, the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) residential streets are reevaluated by El Paso City Council every two years as opposed to arterial streets which are already identified and prioritized based on a combination of pavement condition and traffic volumes.

The cost for Proposition A is $237 million.

Proposition B: Parks & Recreation Facilities

Addressing the needs of many El Paso families, Proposition B will provide funding for projects designed to enhance the comfort, beauty, and accessibility of El Paso’s recreation spaces.

Priority will be given to sites based on the following criteria: equity, facility use, data, address service gaps, and location in higher-populated areas where parks are used the most.

What You Get

• A new, regional, community All-Abilities Playground for children of all abilities to play, learn and grow together. While the location has not been selected, it will be located in an area most convenient to residential neighborhoods.
• Eight additional shade structures (one or more per district) for playgrounds, picnic areas, benches, and bleachers
• Neighborhood Improvement Program (NIP) funding for small-scale neighborhood projects

The cost of Proposition B is $20 million.

Proposition C: Climate Action Plan

Like the rest of the country, our City is confronted with several major environmental problems exacerbated by climate change. Since 2016, our community has experienced five of its warmest years, with 2021 being our ninth-warmest year on record. And during last year’s winter storm, El Pasoans saw temperatures drop as low as 14 degrees. Additionally, we have experience issues related to flooding and ongoing challenges related to the water supply. Proposition C will help El Paso better address these climate issues by focusing on the latest advances in green infrastructure, policy, and technology, as well as build our City’s eligibility to receive federal funding to assist with these challenges.

What You Get

• Dedicated committees to develop strategies to prevent and manage flooding in commercial and residential areas
• Installation of more charging stations for electric vehicles
• Assistance in helping buildings become more energy efficient
• Financial incentives for homeowners who use solar energy
• More green spaces and increased tree canopy throughout El Paso
• More bike paths and pedestrian walkways

The cost for Proposition C is $5 million
