Money approved to upgrade 667 miles of North Las Vegas roads

Funding for street repairs in North Las Vegas got a $3.57 million boost Wednesday night under a deal between the City Council and Regional Transportation Commission.

The commission previously had earmarked $1.4 million for engineering services aimed at rehabilitating 667 miles of roads in North Las Vegas, according to a city report. The additional money, coming from the countywide fuel revenue indexing tax, will cover the construction costs for those improvements.
