Additional funding may becoming through an applicationsubmitted to the federalDepartment of Transportationfor a $5 million grant by the ElPaso Metropolitan PlanningOrganization. That grant, ifapproved, would be specificallyused to fund the design work onthe project.The project has been talkedabout and studied for the last 5years and won the support ofboth planners and residents wholike the idea of repurposing andusing a one-time vehicularoverpass for green purposesrather than just demolishing it.Referenced as the I-10 UpperDeck Project, the effort wouldsee the creation of a park withgardens, benches, trails, anddifferent outdoor facilities.Published reports have alsoindicated that the park could seethe building of a dog park,outdoor theater, and perhapseven an El Paso PoliceDepartment substation.As envisioned, the deck parkwould span some five blocks,from Santa Fe Street to KansasStreet, and could ultimately costas much as $207 million tocomplete."Construction costs for deckparks can be wincingly high, butthere is also an upside—the landitself is generally free," notes theauthor Peter Hamik in his bookUrban Green--Innovative Parks forResurgent Cities.34BUILTENVIRONMENTApproval has now been secured for the rezoning of asite in West El Paso that will see the construction of anapartment complex with just over 100 residential units.The project belongs to the Housing Authority of theCity of El Paso and will see construction near theintersection of Bluff Trail Lane and S. Mesa Hills Drive.In a 6 to 2 vote, members of the El Paso City Councilhave now given their approval to a rezoning designationfor a project designed to provide housing for individualsand families earning up to 80% of Area Median Income.The zoning change is taking the 6.2-acre site from an R-3 Residential to an A-3 Apartment designation.The property in question was purchased 5 years agofrom the utility company El Paso Water by the HousingAuthority.Residents in the surrounding Mesa Hill neighborhoodattended several public input meetings on the project,saying that the proposed complex was too large for thearea.But those assertions were to a degree balanced by areport completed in April for the city's PlanCommission saying that the proposal was "in characterwith the residential and apartment development in thesurrounding area."The Housing Authority last month received $16 millionin the form of housing tax credits awarded by the TexasDepartment of Housing and Community Affairs to spurconstruction of the project.NEW EL PASO AFFORDABLEHOUSING COMPLEX SECURESAPPROVAL; CONSTRUCTIONSET TO BEGIN SOONBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter 09/26/2024
