ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FHWA-NV-EA 07.02 EA: 73215 October 2008 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FHWA-NV-EA 07.02 EA: 73215 October 2008 Federal Highway Administration and Nevada Department of Transportation in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management Interstate 15 South Corridor Improvement Sloan Road to Tropicana Avenue Clark County, Nevada Alternative), the existing environment that could be affected by the project, the potential impacts from each of the alternatives, and the proposed mitigation measures. NDOT, with FHWA, is proposing to improve 12 miles of the I-15 corridor from Sloan Road to Tropicana Avenue, including Las Vegas Boulevard South between Sloan Road and Sunset Road. Improvements proposed for I-15 consist of expanding the freeway to a ten-lane facility (five general purpose lanes in each direction) from Sloan Road to Blue Diamond Road, and a ten-lane facility (five general purpose lanes in each direction) with collector-distributor (C-D) lanes from Blue Diamond Road to Tropicana Avenue. The I-15 South corridor includes Las Vegas Boulevard South, which would be improved to a six-lane facility (three lanes in each direction) from Sloan Road to Sunset Road, and separated by an open median designated for future use by the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada’s (RTC) Regional Fixed Guideway system. New service interchanges are proposed along I-15 at Bermuda Road, Starr Avenue, and Cactus Avenue; a reconstructed interchange at Sloan Road; a reconstructed overpass at Warm Springs Road;1 and new overpasses at Pebble Road and Sunset Road. Improvements would be made to the Blue Diamond Road (SR 160) interchange and the I-15/I-215 Beltway system interchange. A park-and-ride lot is proposed in the southwest quadrant of Las Vegas Boulevard and St. Rose Parkway. Transportation System Management (TSM) measures, including dynamic message signs and ramp metering to improve traffic operations, would also be incorporated. 1 Reconstruction of the Warm Springs Road overpass was previously studied and approved in the SR 160 EA and would be constructed as part of this project (FHWA and NDOT, 2004. Environmental Assessment for SR 160 Widening & I-15 Interchange Improvements, I-15 to Rainbow Boulevard, Clark County, Nevada. FHWA-NV-EA 04.03. April).

UTILITY REVIEW Kimley-Horn conducted a preliminary review of the existing utility infrastructure for a proposed 60,000 seat stadium generally located at the northeast corner of Koval Lane and Tropicana Avenue. Figure 1 summarizes the utility infrastructure surrounding the site. 1.1 Potable Water System Kimley-Horn met with Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) to obtain record drawings, and to identify any constraints in the existing potable water system or potential conflicts with the proposed development. The existing offsite potable water system in Tropicana Avenue consists of 12”, 60”, and 90” diameter pipelines running along the southernmost side of Tropicana Avenue. The major lines for connection to the site are the 12” and 60” pipelines from LVVWD system at South Las Vegas Boulevard and East Tropicana Avenue, to Paradise Road and East Tropicana Avenue. Service to the site of interest includes a 2” service lateral to parcel 162-21-802-001, a 12” ACP service lateral to parcel 162-21-802- 005, and two (2) 8” service laterals to parcel 162-21-810-005.

  • Improving Clark County's
    Improving Clark County’s Economic Future Sponsored by NEDPAC.org L-2 FUEL TAX INDEXING FOR CLARK COUNTY - ENABLING LEGISLATION Why is Indexing Authority Necessary? Degradation of Fuel Taxes Loss of Purchasing Power: The purchasing power of fuel taxes in Clark County has declined 58% since the County reached the maximum 9-cent limit. Reduced Consumption: Fuel tax revenue that funds road construction and maintenance continues to decline as result of decreasing fuel consumption due to the increasing prevalence of electric vehicles and rising mileage efficiency requirements. Transportation Infrastructure Needs v. Funding, Next 10 Years Needs Funding $4.4 Billion $478.4 Million Established Policy in Nevada All counties in Nevada have been granted the permission from the Nevada Legislature to consider indexing their fuel taxes – except Clark County. Solutions Needed Clark County needs all available options so that it may consider how best to meet its transportation demands and make decisions that are in the best interests of Southern Nevada. How Does Clark County Benefit from Indexing Legislation? Options: Gives Clark County another option to consider in addressing its transportation funding demands. Federal Matching Funds: Provides RTC with the capability to obtain federal matching dollars (80/20). For every $10 from the RTC the Federal Government will match with $40. NDOT Projects: Provides RTC with the capability to participate to a greater extent in state projects located in Clark County. Economic Diversification: Transportation infrastructure is a critical piece to diversification of Southern Nevada’s economy and tying Clark County into the western region and the international transition of goods.
