Priority List on Highways May Be In for Big Switch
Clark County officials push rapid four-lane Tropicana Avenue construction across Strip land and a former city official's property. Once far down, Tropicana would get a quarter mile funded by gasoline tax bonds before other urgent projects like I-15 connectors and a steel plant link to Salt Lake and Tonopah highways. The plan aims to reach Grand Jury foreman Joe Blasco's gravel pit and Stardust International Raceway with future western extensions at an estimated cost of $92,000.
