Letter for November 14, 2012, Clark County Government Hearing
Please Take Action
Contact your government representatives today.
The scenic byway through Red Rock Canyon is becoming a dangerous construction, commuter, and commercial high speed highway as irresponsible growth in the Southwest pushes more traffic through the canyon. County Commissioners approved a huge master-planned community against the recommendations of design staff who denied it based on insufficient roads to handle the increased traffic. Highway 160 has always been the commuter highway between Pahrump and Las Vegas, and now it is so clogged up, drivers are forced to go up to 30 miles out of their way, through Red Rock Canyon’s once-peaceful scenic byway to get to Las Vegas.
Please help us return Red Rock Canyon to the peaceful retreat we have all learned to love.

On my bike ride yesterday at Mt. Charleston, I got great news from the NDOT patrol. The Mojave Fire crews were cleaning up the last of the gear and the roads would be open at 2pm. I took pictures of the saved greenery and felt so much gratitude for the fire fighters who had conquered this 2800 acre beast. #thankyoufirefighters. Save Red Rock is working on fire prevention in Lovell Canyon, the part of Toiyabe National Forest that is in Red Rock. This is a real concern. Let’s do our part to make it through another season unscathed. Thank you to all who are being extra careful during fire season, and especially to NDOT, the USFS, and the fire fighting crews. #heroes #staygreen #savemtcharleston #saveredrock #usfs #toyiabenationalforest #ndot ...

The Mahogany Fire is now 98% contained! It is very important to still follow the Fire Restrictions that are put in place for everyone's safety - especially for nature's safety!
"Fire managers are urging the public to avoid the areas of Lee and Kyle Canyon so crews can efficiently move firefighting apparatus. They also ask that drones not be flown anywhere near the fire area, as this can hamper the ability to use firefighting aircraft."
