<\/p>\nEL PASO, Texas (KFOX14\/CBS4) \u2014 EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14\/CBS4) \u2014 Neighbors who live near the base of Scenic Drive and Louisville Avenue say rocks and debris repeatedly wash down from the mountain during rain, at times blocking parts of the roadway.<\/p>\n
Residents say crews have cleared the debris in the past, but they are asking the City of El Paso for a long-term solution before the next storm.<\/p>\n
Renee Franco, who lives in the area, said the problem happens frequently when rain falls.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s all the wash-off coming down from the mountains,\u201d Franco said.<\/p>\n

Neighbors say the debris can create a hazard for drivers, especially at night.<\/p>\n
They also say Sun Metro buses travel through the area.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt gets dangerous for cars driving around there at night,\u201d Franco said. \u201cIt gets dark, and you just wouldn\u2019t want an accident.\u201d<\/p>\n
Residents say crews remove the rocks from the roadway, but they believe debris is sometimes pushed to the edge of the mountain.<\/p>\n
They say the material can then wash back into the street when it rains again.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey come, clean it up, put it up to the side, so the next rain comes around and brings it back out,\u201d Franco said. \u201cIt\u2019s like a cycle.\u201d<\/p>\n
Franco said she would like to see the debris removed instead of left along the edge.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would be ideal for them to take the debris instead of putting it back at the edge,\u201d she said. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t take much rain to push all that debris down here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another neighbor, Jose Barraza, said clearing the road provides only temporary relief and believes the source of the rockfall needs to be addressed.<\/p>\n
\u201cCleaning it up is not going to solve the problem,\u201d Barraza said. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be every time it rains.\u201d<\/p>\n
KFOX14 reached out to the City of El Paso to ask whether it has received reports about the rockfall, how crews are responding, and whether a long-term fix is planned.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll update the story when we hear back this week from the City of El Paso.<\/p>\n
