Are you ready to call state Rep. Joe Pickett and the MPO, the Metropolitan Planning Organization, allies yet?
The answer to the question is yes. I think maybe we’re past the logjam, but I’m happy to say that I wasn’t involved in the initial formation of the RMA. I came in pretty much after the wars had been fought. In regards to Chairman Pickett, he’s chair of the House Transportation Committee, so obviously he has a very strong input into how we move in the future. Q: For years the Northeast has been associated with Fort Bliss. Spur 601 and Loop 375 and new gates on the east side of Fort Bliss are opening the Eastside to be as much of the Fort Bliss community as the Northeast traditionally has been. When you can get on the loop at Montana and 375, and get off the Liberty Expressway and be at US 54 in seven or eight minutes tops, or continue to the Loop and be in Northeast El Paso at Cohen Stadium in 10 to 15 minutes, it changes the whole makeup and relationship between Northeast and East El Paso. That’s big, that’s significant. The projects we’re working on are big deals. They will change how
