Freeway

by Scott Schrantz Source: http://aroundcarson.com/2010/07/02/cc_freeway_construction Construction on Phase 3 of the Carson City Freeway is well underway. This is kind of Phase 3a, since all they're going to do right now is build the bridges at Koontz and Clearview, and grade parts of the roadbed along Edmonds. But they've been working on all that for a month, and it's coming along nicely.

JOHN HOY – VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR

I was gone for part of last week, and I missed that the new Michael Hohl Honda and Subaru auto dealerships on South Carson opened up on Monday. Looks like the Nevada Appeal missed it as well, at least as far as their website is concerned. Hopefully the addition will add some new sales tax revenue to Carson City's coffers.

You can always tell when summer arrives in Carson City — that's when Nevada's official state tree, the orange traffic cone, starts sprouting up all over town.

CARSON CITY – The U.S. Department of Interior (DOI) today announced that disbursement of FY 2010 Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) funds will be delayed until July. Rep. Dean Heller, R-Nev., issued a release announcing the delay to Nevadans.
Historically, local governments receive PILT funds in June. Most county budgets are drafted with the expectation that funds will be distributed by the DOI under the standard distribution calendar. Local governments were not notified of the changes until today.

Here is the Carson City area road construction report for Monday, June 14 through Sunday, June 20:

ramp, Tuesday, June 15

It's time to trim the waist while trimming Carson City's waste. Join the Carson City Chamber of Commerce for a clean-up event on Saturday, June 19 at 8:30 a.m.

The Nevada Department of Transportation has received an award for archeological preservation of the Old Stewart Indian Cemetery. 
An Exemplary Human Environment Initiative award to NDOT was presented by the Federal Highway Administration for partnering efforts to enhance and preserve the historic cemetery as part of the Carson City Freeway project.

After yesterday's article about the freeway, and how Colorado Street was closing permanently on Monday, I got to thinking more about this final phase of the freeway. The Nevada Appeal today says that construction indeed is starting on Monday, and will continue in bits and pieces for the next two years. The first thing to go will be Clearview Drive, which will be closed for an extended time while a new bridge is built.

“Knowlege Center”? Another new term for an old concept (does anyone go to the library for “knowlege” when they can Google the subject on their computer).

I think this is great! Hopefully the taggers and vandals will leave it alone. Doubt it, though.

That is a great point about ongoing maintenance. I believe that this is one of the rare grants that indeed maintenance was included.
