RTC Opens Community Comment Period for Feedback on Upcoming Transit Service Changes FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: June 29, 2020 MEDIA CONTACTS: Sue Christiansen, RTC, (702) 676-1891 office, [email protected] Catherine Lu, RTC, (702) 676-1788 office, [email protected] RTC opens community comment period for feedback on upcoming transit service changes Click to Tweet: .@RTCSNV opens 60-day comment period to gather community input on system-wide transit service changes. Find all details at https://www.rtcsnv.com/ways-to-travel/schedules-maps/2020-transit-service- change/ LAS VEGAS – The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) is experiencing a severe drop in transit funding as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. To adjust for this loss in revenue, while continuing to provide critically needed transportation, the RTC is considering making system-wide service changes that would go into effect in fall 2020. The community is encouraged to provide input on proposed changes including route eliminations, routing adjustments and schedule changes during a 60-day comment period. “Our public transportation system is facing the same financial uncertainty that businesses and communities across the country are experiencing when it comes to providing essential services with reduced budgets,” said Francis Julien, RTC deputy CEO. “We know this is a very difficult time for our community as we continue to grapple with so many unknowns, especially as it relates to providing public transportation to our community. So before we make any transit service changes, we need to hear from you. We are making efforts to reach out and provide information in many different ways, and we hope we will get valuable feedback from riders and non-riders alike.” The public comment period will remain open through Friday, August 28. In addition to all details being available online at rtcsnv.com, information will be posted on all transit vehicles and sent to impacted customers. Outreach teams will also be out in the community over the next 60 days to engage with individuals directly at bus stop and transit center pop-ups, public meetings and other events as available. Dates, times and locations will be announced each week. Below are the proposed transit service change details: Proposed Route Eliminations Route 207, Alta/Stewart o Access to adjacent Routes 206 Charleston, 208 Washington, & 215 Bonanza, as well as multiple north/south intersecting routes remains Route 209, Vegas Dr./Owens o Access to adjacent Routes 208 Washington and 210 Lake Mead, as well as multiple north/south intersecting routes remains Westcliff Airport Express (WAX) o Some service replaced with Centennial Express (CX) route adjustment Strip & Downtown Express (SDX) o Service replaced by Deuce on the Strip extension and mall/government center shuttle Proposed Routing Adjustments Route 104, Valley View/Arville: o Route to remain on Valley View between Russell & Twain, eliminating service along Arville. Centennial Express (CX): o Replace a lower ridership CX routing for higher ridership routing used by the WAX. o CX would no longer serve Spring Mtn. @ Las Vegas Blvd, Howard Hughes Pkwy, or Flamingo & Maryland, but instead would serve Tropicana @ Las Vegas Blvd. & McCarran Airport Terminal 1 (in addition to current Terminal 3 service). o Express service to/from Centennial Hills & downtown Las Vegas, UNLV, & McCarran Airport would not be affected. Deuce o Operate current Deuce A.M. routing to South Strip Transit Terminal & Las Vegas South Premium Outlets 24 hours a day. o Operate a shuttle to Las Vegas North Premium Outlets/Symphony Park area. Henderson & Downtown Express (HDX) o The HDX will be shortened to run only between Water Street and Boulder City. It will no longer run to Downtown Las Vegas or the Sunset & Stephanie area. o The route may run a little more frequently, possibly every 40-50 minutes. o The route will stay on I-11, bypassing Nevada State College (NSC). NSC area will continue being serviced by the BHX-B. o The Paratransit service area will be reduced by .27 miles. There are currently nine paratransit customers in that area, who will all be grandfathered into the service. Sahara Express (SX): o Eliminate SX-A service along Nellis & Lake Mead Blvd. SX-A would stay on Sahara to Hollywood, terminating at Hollywood & Vegas Valley. o Nellis & Lake Mead Blvd. to continue being served by other routes; no bus stops closed. o Modify SX-B service accordingly by slightly shortening the route, terminating at Cabana & Desert Inn. o SX service west of Nellis would not change.

  • Real Estate Deck 2017
    ABOUTWE ASPIRE TO BEUS FIRST, UNIQUE, OR BEST IN EVERYTHING WE DO. Downtown Project was founded in January 2012 with the idea that if you accelerate co-learning, collisions, and connectedness in the city’s urban core, productivity, innovation, growth, and happiness will fall into place. Zappos.com CEO Tony Hsieh made a personal investment of $350 million toward helping with the revitalization of part of downtown Las Vegas. His investment became Downtown Project, which has allocated roughly $200 million in real estate and development, $50 million in small businesses, $50 million in technology and startups through VTF Capital, and $50 million in arts and culture, education, and healthcare. A large portion of our investment was allocated toward real estate and development in the Fremont East/East Village districts of downtown Las Vegas. We own approximately 45 acres, and we’re activating our holdings in an organic way, rather than through a top-down master plan. We’ve purposely activated buildings that are not directly next to one another in order to encourage people to walk a little farther into the neighborhood, which increases opportunities for collisions. The roughly $200 million to real estate and development includes approximately 45 acres of land in and around the Fremont East and East Village districts, and approximately 11 businesses that we wholly own and operate. So far we’ve invested in approximately 50 small businesses ranging from restaurants, bars, and a microbrewery to retail, including a bookstore, a record store/recording studio, and a toy store. Downtown Project has also invested in services, from a membership-based dog park and doggie day care to an app-based laundry and dry cleaning business.
