Wider Freeways = Wider Traffic Jams

TxDOT's multi-billion dollar plan to expand I-10 through downtown will destroy our neighborhoods, make traffic worse, and harm our community's health. It's time to demand a better, more forward-thinking solution for El Paso.

It's a proven fact: adding more lanes doesn't fix traffic, it just invites more cars.

An Outdated, Harmful Plan

It Targets Historic Neighborhoods

The proposed expansion cuts directly into the Sunset Heights Historic District, a place TxDOT is legally required to protect. This will permanently scar the fabric of one of El Paso's most cherished communities.

It's Illegally Loud

TxDOT's own reports admit the expansion will create illegal levels of noise pollution. This isn't just an annoyance; it's a public health crisis that will harm families downtown and in surrounding neighborhoods, increasing stress and sleep disruption.

It's Obsolete

This plan is stuck in the past. Self-driving semi-trucks have been operating in El Paso since 2018, and the new Borderland Expressway is already under construction to route thru-traffic around the city. This expansion is an expensive solution to a problem that's already being solved elsewhere.
