This is unprecedented protection for Red Rock Canyon! We need your help! Dina Titus and her Natural Treasures committee are introducing a bill that if passed would limit big truck traffic through Red Rock Canyon on SR 159 by placing a weight limit on this road and others of importance.
View the text of the bill here: http://www.leg.state.nv.us/74th/Reports/history.cfm?ID=335, view minutes from the hearing here. This is not without resistance, so she is asking for our help in full force to get this passed.
