The governor signed SB 240 into Law!  Supporters of Red Rock Canyon have waited a long time for this. The number one public response vetted from years of public campaigning and NDOT safety meetings is about to be satisfied with the posting of new 50 mph signs along Red Rock Canyon's National Scenic Byway (SR 159). Thanks to Senator Shirley Breeden for Sponsoring the Bill, Zane Marshall for introducing it to her, NDOT for providing solutions, the public for testifying, and the state legislators for voting in unanimous approval, one of our newest Nevada State Laws is further proof that Red Rock Canyon is a highly valued state and national treasure. Everyone is invited to NDOT's Safety Speed Zone Celebration (July 8, 2009, 10:00 a.m. at the Red Rock Canyon Overlook turnout at SR 159's mile marker 9.8.) RSVP Bob Mckenzie, NDOT PIO (702) 385-6504.

4:00 news report
6:00 news report (at minute mark 7:30) Yesterday's committee hearing reviewed legislation to lower the speed limit in Red Rock Canyon. We were excited when the motion passed with unanimous consent. Now it just needs to go to the floor for a final vote. If it passes, we could see results as early as July! It is nice to see so many who recognize the value of a safer, slower Red Rock Canyon. So far, the legislators and NDOT have been supportive of our efforts. Some of the people who testified were: Senator Shirley Breeden, sponsor of the bill, Zane Marshall, local cyclist behind the bill, Erin Breen, UNLV Safe Community Partnerships, Minta Albietz, Blue Diamond Resident and widow of metro officer Don Albietz, NDOT Director Susan Martinovich, Heather Fisher, SaveRedRock.com, the Nevada Conservation League, and Metro Police. |
