Las Vegas Beltway Growing

1 December 2000 - 9:00am

Officials are meeting with the public to discuss future designs as the newest section of the beltway opens.

Clark County Public Works Officials are holding meetings to accept citizen's comments on the Northern 5.2 mile stretch of the Beltway as the newest section on the Western side opens for traffic. Officials tout the new beltway as important to meet the transportation needs of Las Vegas' booming population, but environmentalists fear that more roads will produce sprawl, especially without a binding comprehensive plan for development.
