Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency approves CVIP grant for Bridge Counseling ramp
Summary
On July 15, 2026 the City of Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency approved a CVIP agreement to fund an on‑street ADA‑compliant ramp at Bridge Counseling Associates Inc., 415 South 6th Street, with RDA funding not to exceed $50,000; Councilmember Bruni recused.
The City of Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency on July 15 approved a Commercial Visual Improvement Program (CVIP) agreement with Bridge Counseling Associates Inc. to build an on‑street, Americans with Disabilities Act‑compliant access ramp at 415 South 6th Street.
Dina Babsky, speaking for agency staff, said the proposed ramp “will comply with all of the federal ADA requirements” and showed the rendering before the agency. Babsky said the total cost to build the ramp is "a little under $40,000," and that the RDA contribution will not exceed $50,000 from the RDA Special Revenue Fund for Redevelopment Area 1 (Ward 3). Babsky added the project is related to City Council item 24‑R‑47‑2026.
Bridge Counseling CEO David Roback described the nonprofit’s work and clients. “We currently treat nearly 4,000 people a year,” Roback said, noting most clients are on Medicaid and that the facility’s new ramp will make access easier for people with mobility challenges. Roback said the organization purchased the building in 2024 and has expanded services since then.
Councilmember Bruni announced a recusal on the item, saying she “serves on the board of Bridge Counseling Associates.” Councilwoman Diaz moved to approve agenda item number 5; the chair called the vote and the motion carried.
Next steps reported during the meeting were execution of the CVIP agreement and processing of the RDA reimbursement. The agenda packet notes that, if final costs exceed initial estimates, the RDA grant will still be capped at $50,000.
