Welcome to Las Vegas in Motion

We've talked about the project to dam the natural spring, remove the native vegetation and pour concrete in the Pittman Wash Trail from Arroyo Grande west to the Union Pacific Railroad trestle.  A cynical person might suggest that destroying that pristine segment of the wash is simply a "make work" project to burn off some of the excess capital Clark County has been stockpiling during this Great Recession. Last month we submitted petitions with over 570 signatures to the City of Henderson requesting that they consider using Clark County's $4.5 million to harvest green cheese on the moon instead of ripping out that cool, clean oasis.  Mayor Andy Hafen, in response, scheduled a public meeting to inform us that we're acting like spoiled children who don't understand why it's important to shut up and take our medicine. We need your help, if you wouldn't mind.  If you live, work or play along the Pittman Wash Trail, and it wouldn't be a major inconvenience to you, please join us tomorrow for a brief meeting with the City of Henderson Public Works engineers.  It's important that they hear our voices, and see our faces, in large numbers.  Here are the particulars:
What - meeting about proposed concrete channel in Pittman Wash between Union Pacific Railroad and Arroyo Grande Blvd.

When - 6 PM, Wednesday, July 13

Where - on the Pittman Wash Trail at a neighborhood access path to Helmsdale Dr. and Fox Butte Ct. (roughly halfway between Arroyo Grande and the Union Pacific Railroad trestle)

This is most likely our last shot at influencing this inane decision.  Please play a part if you can.  We'll save some green cheese for you.
