El Paso council’s July 7 agenda covers speed limits, bus stops, property hearings
Tuesday’s agenda includes first-reading speed-limit changes on Northern Pass and Northwestern, plus a bus-stop bench item and July 21 hearings.
El Paso City Council meets Tuesday, July 7, at 9 a.m. in Council Chambers and virtually, and the agenda is built around a few practical city issues: traffic speeds, bus-stop benches, and property items set for later hearings.
The clearest transportation item is a first-reading ordinance that would update the city’s speed-limit schedule for Northern Pass Drive and Northwestern Drive. The agenda text includes Northern Pass between North Desert Boulevard and Resler Drive, as well as between Resler Drive and Helen of Troy Drive, plus Northwestern Drive from Transmountain Road to Trade Center Avenue.
Another item would terminate Pinnacle Media, LLC’s non-exclusive franchise to place benches at bus stops on city right of way. The agenda notes that item was postponed from the June 9 meeting, so July 7 is a retry rather than a brand-new proposal.
Several property items are also on the docket, but they are not final Tuesday. The agenda says public hearings will be held July 21 for a special privilege license at 1125 Texas Avenue and for multiple city property conveyances. For residents nearby, July 7 is the preview; July 21 is the hearing date that matters most.
Anyone wanting to speak on agenda items must sign up by 9 a.m. Tuesday. Public comment on agenda items begins at 10 a.m.
