The Las Vegas City Council has unanimously approved a $2.7 million contract aimed at upgrading streetlight safety throughout the city. This initiative focuses on areas with high incidences of traffic fatalities and serious injuries, targeting multiple major roadways including:
- Buffalo Drive from Sahara Avenue to Lone Mountain Road
- Charleston Boulevard from CC-215 to Valley View Boulevard
- Sahara Avenue from Decatur Boulevard to Boulder Highway
- Rancho Drive from Bonanza Road to Lone Mountain Road
- Rainbow Boulevard from Silverstream Avenue to Lone Mountain Road
- Town Center Drive from Charleston Boulevard to Summerlin Parkway
- Hualapai Way from CC-215 to Charleston Boulevard
- Decatur Boulevard from Cheyenne Avenue to Ann Road
- Alta Drive from CC-215 to Hualapai Way
- Pavilion Center Drive from Charleston Boulevard to Sageberry Drive
The project involves replacing 2,167 fixtures and 1,519 covers to improve visibility and enhance safety for both drivers and pedestrians. These upgrades are part of the city’s Traffic Improvements Capital Projects Fund and will impact all wards within the city.
By focusing on these critical areas, the city aims to reduce traffic-related incidents and create a safer environment for all road users.
