El Chuqueño Blog – Is the Deck Park Dead, or Just Resting?

Posted on January 27, 2025

From Diego Mendoza-Moyers at ElPasoMatters.com:

The effort to build a deck park suspended over Interstate 10 in Downtown El Paso hit a snag last week after the U.S. Department of Transportation did not award El Paso a $5 million federal grant, which would have paid for construction blueprints.

Apparently, when it came to federal funding, the Downtown Deck Park didn’t make the cut.

Do you suppose that means that the U.S. Department of Transportation has cooled to the idea of building a deck park over the Interstate?

But don’t worry. I’m sure the newly elected crop of city officials will find money for the deck park somewhere.

Probably in your bank account.
