Preferred Park Entrance Presented to City Council Today

Dr. Cesar Mendez, Franklin Mountains State Park Superintendent, gave the following presentation to the El Paso City Council today.

Corky Kuhlmann of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department also was on hand to brief City Council members.

Please support TX Parks and Wildlife Department’s (TPWD) desire to transfer 8 acres to TxDOT so that TxDOT can build a safe entrance with a wildlife crossing and minimal environmental and viewshed destruction.  The 8 acres will serve the Park, but TxDOT will maintain the turn lanes and wildlife crossings. Send your comments in support of this transfer to:  Corky Kuhlmann, Land Conservation, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, Texas 78744 or corky.kuhlmann@tpwd.state.tx.us,   not later than tomorrow, January 23, 2013.
