EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14\/CBS4) \u2014 A neighborhood in Northwest El Paso will get better access to main roads, according to one City Rep.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for the Resler Drive Extension project, which will connect the two sides of Resler currently divided by the Loop 375. <\/p>\n

District 1 City Representative Alejandra Chavez, who represents the Upper Valley and Northwest El Paso, said the people of the Enchanted Hills neighborhood will soon be able to commute in and out faster now that construction has started. <\/p>\n

“This community, Enchanted Hills neighborhood, has been living with very limited access to get in and out of their neighborhoods,” Chavez said. “That has been a safety concern and a quality of life issue for many residents here, especially during busy commute times in the morning, trying to get to school, trying get to work.”<\/p>\n

Not only will the Resler Drive connection help with commutes, Chavez believes that in cases of emergency, but the new road will also help first responders from Fire Station 36– which is just on the other side of the Loop– arrive faster.<\/p>\n

“It’s a question of safety because Fire Station 36 is just on the other side of Loop 375, but they also have a difficult time [accessing] this neighborhood,” Chavez said. “So this road is going to be pivotal for this community to gain access, but also for safety reasons.”<\/p>\n

The project is funded through the voter-approved 2022 Community Progress Bond, Chavez said. <\/p>\n

The cost is expected to be about $13 million and construction is estimated to take about 13 months.<\/p>\n

“These projects don’t happen overnight but we are very grateful for the three property owners that donated the land so that this connectivity project can finally take place,” Chavez said.<\/p>\n
