Questions & Answers:
Q – Where is the money coming from to build trails?
A – There are several funding sources including the Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act (SNPLMA), state grants, approved general funds and other grant programs.
Q – What kind of trails are being built?
A – Off-street trails: along natural washes, flood control facilities, highways, beltways, utility corridors, and equestrian trails primarily in Rural Neighborhood Preservation areas. On-street facilities: typically including a sidewalk (back of curb or detached) and a bicycle lane or bicycle route located on the street.
Q – Who can use these trails?
A – The multi-use non-equestrian trails will accommodate walkers, cyclists, joggers, runners, wheelchairs, strollers, skateboards and in-line skates.
Q – Will the trails be paved?
A – Generally, multi-use trails in the urban area will be paved with asphalt or concrete and equestrian trails will be suitable native soils or acceptable aggregates.
Q – Can off-highway vehicles use the trails in the urban area?
A – No, these trails are non-motorized. The rural communities within Clark County allow greater opportunities for development of OHV friendly facilities.
Q – Are there trails I can use now?
A – In addition to trails in the County Wetlands Park, there are a few trail segments along I-215, US-95 and near the Las Vegas wash and the County water reclamation facility. Several additional trails are currently under design and construction and other trails exist in Las Vegas, North Las Vegas and Henderson.
