Main roadways

Dyer Street (US Business Route 54 north of the Patriot Freeway; Texas Loop 478 south of it) runs from Pershing Drive in North-Central El Paso generally north and northeast out of the city into New Mexico toward Alamogordo; indeed, it was once known as the Alamogordo Highway. Dyer Street, named for prominent turn-of-the-20th-century El Paso attorney John Dyer, is the main street of Northeast El Paso, with the lion's share of its retail stores, although Gateway North and Gateway South Boulevards, the frontage roads of the Patriot Freeway (US 54), have seen a good deal of more recent commercial development (particularly Gateway North), as have Woodrow Bean Transmountain Road (Texas Loop 375), which in 2013 was in the process of being converted to a freeway, and the lesser arterials McCombs Street (Texas Farm Road 2529), Hondo Pass Road, and Kenworthy Street.

Education

Most of Northeast El Paso lies in the El Paso Independent School District and is zoned to Andress, Chapin and Irvin high schools, and also contains Transmountain Early College High School, which is located on the Transmountain campus of El Paso Community College on Gateway North Boulevard at Diana Drive. The portion of Northeast El Paso east of McCombs Street is an exclave of the Ysleta Independent School District, whose main portion is situated in east and southeast El Paso. It is zoned to Parkland High School. The extreme eastern edge of the Canutillo Independent School District takes in the eastern foothills of the Franklin Mountains beginning approximately one mile west of Martin Luther King Boulevard (Texas Farm Road 3255); it has no residential development of any kind.
