T&M parking improving

I’m sometimes asked what’s the worst traffic situation in the Las Vegas Valley outside of Las Vegas Boulevard.

‘Failing Roadway’ Means Potholes

This week readers want to know about the construction on Rampart Boulevard near Summerlin Parkway, what’s the best way to get from the College of Southern Nevada’s West Charleston Boulevard campus to the Cheyenne Avenue campus and how long will it take to clean graffiti from a sign on Interstate 15?

Gasoline prices creep back up

For the past two weeks I have basked in the numbers shining forth from the gallon and dollar counters at my local gasoline pump.

Serenity returning to Henderson in March

This week readers want to know about the construction on Serene Avenue in Henderson; when Grand Montecito Parkway in the northwest valley is going to be opened; and what route will the F Street protest march take through downtown this morning?

I-15 work hits F Street wall

More than a few people are worried about a lawsuit filed two weeks ago to stop the ongoing Interstate 15 north widening project.

THE LATEST
‘Cost constraints’ impact interchange

This week readers want to know what the Las Vegas Beltway and Summerlin Parkway interchange will look like when it’s done and when Hollywood Boulevard near Sahara Avenue be opened. And the Road Warrior offers some New Year’s resolutions.

Good News on the Horizon

This week readers want to know when Silverado Ranch Boulevard in the southern valley is going to be extended west of Interstate 15 to Decatur Boulevard, why motorists can’t turn at Donovan Way and Craig Road, and whether a four-wheel drive vehicle is adequate for the snow on Mount Charleston or are snow tires or chains also necessary. And the Road Warrior shares a special holiday wish.

Foliage removed for widening

This week readers want to know what happened to the shrubbery that was removed from Interstate 15 near Lake Mead Boulevard; who is Raphael Rivera and why was the Frontage Road along the Las Vegas Beltway in the southwest named for him; and are there any alternate routes to Southern California instead of waiting for the blasting on I-15 to finish? And the Road Warrior eats some crow after his favorite football team lost Sunday.

Let’s see show of hands on cell phone use

I was talking to a couple of Carson City insiders who indicated that banning cell phone use while driving is unlikely to be passed during the upcoming 2009 legislative session.

Dates set for I-15 closure

This week readers want to know when Interstate 15 will be shut down for blasting; what is the reason for the construction on Lone Mountain Road in North Las Vegas; and what is going on with the bus service at Meadows mall.

No word on crane collapse

The Hoover Dam Bypass project was supposed to be wrapping up about this time.

From Azure to Lamb, desert strip to remain

This week readers want to know when Azure Avenue will go west all the way through to Lamb Boulevard; whether Clark County plans on putting up street lights on the western Las Vegas Beltway; and how to get on Interstate 15 north from U.S. Highway 95.
