Destruction of Mountain - Jobe/Cemex Quarry at McKelligon Canyon
Unsustainable overuse of rock in neighborhood landscaping project - 2700 block Memphis Avenue
The City of El Paso Community and Human Development Department currently has a survey that it is asking El Pasoans to take until 5 p.m. Friday, January 22nd. The statement given with the release of the survey says:
"The Department of Community and Human Development is in the process of developing the five-year Consolidated Plan for the City of El Paso. In this plan, we must identify community needs and priorities and discuss how we will address them over the course of the next five years. City Council will use this Plan to help them decide how to spend CDBG funds, and other grant funding during the five-year period. We need input from the community in order to identify needs and priorities, and the survey below is a tool we are using to receive community input."
You can find and take the survey online. At the bottom of the survey is room for personal comment.
Franklin Mountains Wilderness Coalition board member, Judy Ackerman, commented this way: "El Paso needs to focus on preservation of open space, especially around our mountains."
You might also want to consider adding that El Paso and El Pasoans must stop building and landscaping with so much rock. The mountains are not sustainable. Develop but develop sustainably!
