Resident urges crosswalk at East Lake Mead Boulevard and Yale Street to protect students
Summary
A North Las Vegas resident requested that the council direct staff to install crosswalks at East Lake Mead Boulevard and Yale Street, saying students and parents cross there daily and the lack of a designated crossing creates a safety hazard.
Heidi Ramirez, a North Las Vegas resident, told the council that the intersection of East Lake Mead Boulevard and Yale Street lacks marked pedestrian crossings despite daily student and parent use and proximity to a freeway entrance. Ramirez said the situation is hazardous and requested that the city install crosswalks at both intersections along East Lake Mead to improve safety for students.
Councilman Barone asked Ramirez to remain after the meeting so staff could gather details and follow up. "I urgently request that the crosswalk be installed at both intersections along East Lake Mead Boulevard and Yale Street," Ramirez said in her comments. Staff indicated they would have someone follow up after the meeting to address the concern.
