Piedras Street Project Shelved | El Paso News
Description
El Paso’s big Piedras Street reconstruction is on hold after a 7-1 city council vote, fueled by fierce opposition from local business owners who fear the 10-month shutdown will cripple their livelihoods. While Council Rep. Josh Acevedo stood alone in favor of moving forward, citing safety and growth needs, merchants argued for smaller, less disruptive fixes. The project’s $1.9 million funding remains intact but will now be redirected to other District Two infrastructure priorities, setting the stage for a more collaborative, phased approach.
