NDOT to review Taco Bell ingress/egress; opening may be delayed pending reconstruction or delineators
Summary
Town staff reported Nevada/NDOT traffic-permit staff will review the Taco Bell driveway configuration after construction differed from approved plans; NDOT may require delineators or reconstruction to match approved plans and the store's opening could be delayed until the issue is resolved.
Town planning staff told the council that the Taco Bell development's ingress and egress configuration differs from the approved plans and the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) traffic-and-permits group will evaluate options. Staff said NDOT suggested either installing traffic delineators (the yellow flexible posts) to prevent unsafe left turns or requiring the developer to reconstruct the driveway to match approved plans.
A town official said the NDOT traffic-and-permits team would weigh the options and that the project is under review. "Delineators are suggested or another requiring them to reconstruct per approved plans and that was from NDOT," staff said. The town indicated it will withhold an occupancy permit for the site until the traffic configuration issue is resolved.
Why it matters: Driveway configuration on a state highway can create safety issues and must conform to NDOT permits; resolving the discrepancy may delay the business's opening and could require construction changes.
Next steps: NDOT will consider the permit and the town will coordinate on enforcement; staff said the town will not issue an occupancy permit until the traffic configuration meets NDOT requirements or the developer implements the required corrections.
