BONNEVILLE AVENUE NOW ONE WAY

Bonneville Avenue is now operating as a one-way eastbound street between First Street and Las Vegas Boulevard, the city of Las Vegas said.

The change is part of the Bonneville/Clark One-Way Couplet Project, which continues to move closer to completion downtown. The $5 million project, which began in November, will make Bonneville Avenue permanently one-way eastbound and Clark Avenue one-way westbound between First Street and Las Vegas Boulevard.

New traffic signals have been turned to red flash mode at Bonneville Avenue and Third Street and Clark Avenue and Third Street to alert motorists to use caution when entering those intersections and treat them as all-way stops.

The project is scheduled to be completed in October.

New Traffic signal installed at Bonanza Road and Tonopah Drive

City of Las Vegas crews installed a traffic signal on Bonanza Road and Tonopah Drive, an intersection that sees roughly 22,000 vehicles per day, the city said. The signal was installed to improve overall traffic operations at the Ward 5 intersection and in particular, for southbound left-turn traffic on Tonopah and crossing pedestrians.

$10,000 Reward offered for information regarding March 30 death

A $10,000 reward has been offered for information regarding the death of Amanpreet Singh Mander, who was fatally shot March 30 outside the Wells Fargo Bank near Sunset Road and Eastern Avenue.

Mander worked at a nearby convenience store and was probably the target of a robbery, police said. Two men driving a white four-door Stratus are suspected of the crime. The car was found near the crime scene. The suspects also may have used a silver Ford F-150, police said.

The Mander family raised $5,000 for the reward, a figure matched by the United Coin Machine Company, which operates slot routes in 7-Eleven stores in Southern Nevada. To report information, call the police at 828-3521.
