University-Kern Beautification Project

Let's revive the University-Kern beautification project!

Why is this important?

I own a small business in the university area of El Paso, Texas. I also live in the neighborhood. We moved our business to this area because of the planned beautification project. This was about nine years ago. Nothing has happened and there is no longer talk of seeing this through. It seems that the city has shifted gears and moved their focus to downtown. This is great, we need that. Having a fun, beautiful, university area is critical for El Paso as it is the gateway between Utep, our historic districts and downtown. I would like to know what has happened to these plans and how can we get them going again?
