They are meant to protect pedestrians walking on the Strip from vehicle-ramming attacks and traffic accidents, Clark County spokesman Dan Kulin said. “It’s good to see those go up because there’s so much sidewalk here that isn’t protected,” said Maritza Cabrera. “It’s not just keeping cars off the sidewalk, it’s keeping people out of the street.”
Construction on the latest project begins Nov. 30 in the south end of the valley, where the Nevada Department of Transportation will build a $33.7 million freeway interchange for Interstate 15 at Starr Avenue.
