For over a decade, the City of El Paso’s vision of having safe travel for all mobility users and promoting active transportation had fallen short. In the face of continuing street safety, health, mobility, and other challenges, a diverse coalition of advocates worked with city planners and decision makers to strengthen and improve the way the City of El Paso designs and builds its streets. Their top-scoring Complete Streets policy was adopted unanimously in 2022.
