Convair Road Improvement
Date
2016
Client
City of El Paso, TX
SITES partnered with El Paso International Airport (EPIA) and the project engineering team to transform Convair Road into a vibrant and welcoming corridor for travelers arriving in or departing from El Paso. The design showcases the region’s character through low-water, high-color plantings that create an iconic first impression for visitors and a refreshed experience for residents who frequently pass through the airport campus.
As part of the project, SITES introduced a cutting-edge, low-voltage landscape lighting system that allows airport staff to easily change lighting colors and displays from a computer or smartphone. This flexibility enables EPIA to customize lighting for events, holidays, athletic teams, and other special occasions, adding a dynamic and memorable visual feature to the corridor.
Improvements along Convair Road include widened walkways, new street trees, vibrant shrubs, decorative screen walls, low-water drip irrigation, low-voltage lighting, and pedestrian rest areas equipped with site furnishings. The result is a colorful, resilient, and engaging roadway environment that enriches the overall experience of those coming, going, or simply passing by the airport.
