Four Public Workshops Held Between April 26, 2006 and May 30, 2006
The North 5th Street Improvement Project recently completed a series of Public Workshops. Members of the Project Team, including professionals from the City of North Las Vegas, met with over 100 local residents and representatives from 10 businesses within ¼-mile of North 5th Street. Each workshop attendee was provided a short overview of the project and was then asked to complete a questionnaire. The questionnaires are intended to help the Project Team better understand the accessibility and mobility needs of the community and individual concerns.
Many concerns were expressed at the Public Workshops, including the possibility of residents and businesses losing their property to the project. At this time, no decisions have been made regarding property acquisition. However, for more information on the acquisition and relocation process, click here. Other major concerns included access to and from property, increased traffic, and safety in crossing North 5th Street. Summaries of the four Public Workshops are available by clicking the links below:
