ABC-7 X-TRA: The east side is exploding in growth, but is it controlled growth?

THE EAST SIDE IS EXPLODING IN GROWTH… BUT IS IT CONTROLLED GROWTH?

ONE CITY REPRESENTATIVE SAYS NO.

THAT’S THE TOPIC OF ABC7 XTRA.

WE’VE ALL IN ONE TIME OR ANOTHER DRIVEN THROUGH EAST EL PASO, OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO LIVES THERE.

IF YOU FEEL GROWTH IN THAT AREA IS OUT OF CONTROL, YOU’RE NOT ALONE.

MORE HOMEOWNERS TRANSLATES TO MORE CARS, WHICH IN TURN TRIGGERS TRAFFIC CONGESTION, THE NEED FOR POLICE STATIONS, FIREFIGHTERS AND SOCIAL SERVICES. CITY LEADERS ARE NOW ACKNOWLEDGING THE NEED FOR PLANNED GROWTH. SO– WHAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE MASTER PLAN FOR EAST EL PASO? AS ALWAYS WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU TONIGHT. YOU CAN E-MAIL US YOUR COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS NOW TO ABC-SEVEN XTRA AT KVIA-DOT-COM. YOU CAN ALSO REACH US AT 915-496-1771. TWEET ME AT S-GUADIAN-ABC7.
