LAS TIERRAS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION - MISSION

To develop a community identity; To promote its quality of life, namely the health, safety and welfare of our neighborhoods; and to participate in the political process as it pertains to our community in the city and county of El Paso, TX. by providing a conduit for clear communication between our community and our political leaders.

This and That from Colleen

As you know, LTNA has been working with El Paso Parks and Recreation dept for at least a year and a half trying to get the Salvador Rivas Park built. We recently had another meeting with them to get the current status on the park. We find that the construction drawings are still not finalized and the estimate for the park has now gone up $200,000 from the last estimate we were given. We have had nothing but the runaround from Parks and Recreation.

We have consistently been pushed back when other projects came into the department and were given priority over our project. So we are asking for your help to see if this cannot be remedied. We are asking that everyone call or email our District 5 Representative, Rachel Quintana with your concerns to see if she can assist in this issue.
