El Paso residents, elected officials, city Planning staff, members of the development community and local neighborhood associations visited the Plan El Paso design studio at 2400 North Oregon on Saturday, June 26 for an Open House event.  The public reviewed and provided feedback on the planning team’s initial designs for the ASARCO site and three other Transit Oriented Developments (TODs) around Remcon Circle, Five Points and the Oregon Corridor. The public input to date, including surveys, one-word cards, and table drawings from the ASARCO and TOD hands-on-sessions, were pinned up around the studio to explain the process to the public and update residents who participated in the charrette events.

In addition to the public input on display, plans, sketches, three-dimensional computer models, and hand-drawn renderings were displayed around the studio to present the planning team’s work to date and encourage citizen feedback.  

The charrette process will conclude on Wednesday evening, June 30 at 5:30pm with a Work-in-Progress Presentation at the El Paso Main Public Library Auditorium at 501 North Oregon. Public input on the plans continues through the summer and will be followed by formal public meetings and presentations to the City Plan Commission and City Council.
