A Good Letter for Bike Lanes

Good Morning Heather,  I just stubbled across your website and I wanted to send a quick note: Thank you for you efforts to bring safety to such a crazy place.  My wife and I moved to Vegas (northwest ANN/95) about two years ago, and I have LOVED learing new routes and trails.  I ride a road bike (04′  […]

AB 352 Heard in Senate

Hi Mountain Lovers,

APRIL 29, 2009: AB352 will be heard by the Senate Government Affairs Committee.

Jean is not able to go up to Carson City to testify this time. Any volunteers???

*Note: Interested parties may observe and testify in the proceedings through a simultaneous video conference in Room 4412E of the Grant Sawyer State Office Building, Las Vegas.

Please join me at the Grant Sawyer Building on East Washington (directions on request) for the video conference on Wednesday, APRIL 29 at 1:30 PM.

If you have not already emailed members of the Senate Government Affairs Committee, I invite you, once again, to do so. Only takes a minute.

John J. Lee – Chair [email protected]
Terry Care – Vice Chair [email protected]
Steven A. Horsford [email protected]
Shirley A. Breeden [email protected]
William J. Raggio [email protected]
Randolph J. Townsend [email protected]
Mike McGinness [email protected]

Here are a couple samples from Lisa and Mark:

Dear Mr. Lee:

I am writing to you to ask for your support of AB352, which would limit further commercial development within the Spring Mountain Range. This bill is necessary in order to preserve this unique environment now, and for future generations to come. As you know, the Spring Mountain Range offers not only hiking, backpacking, camping, fishing and hunting for those that are more physically active, but also beauty, tranquility and a place to escape the “rat race” that is found nowhere else in such close proximity to Las Vegas. To have such a phenomenal resource so close to Las Vegas is truly a privilege, a privilege we need to protect for ourselves, our children and those to follow. As Las Vegas continues to grow, our need for such a natural resource will grow as well. Further commercial development in the Spring Mountain Range will only degrade the environment that is so unique to this amazing area. Please support AB352 and help protect this beautiful resource from further commercial development.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Dr. Mark Baxter

Dear Senator Lee,

Please support AB352.

AB352 is a necessary bill that will allow for the much needed protections that should be afforded the Spring Mountains and surrounding area. In a session where so many bills have distinct lines between winners and losers, AB352 is a winner for all Nevadans and the millions of visitors that are attracted to the distinct outdoor experience called outdoor Southern Nevada. Visitors can visit the stark contrast between the vast desert one day, and then hike or camp in the cool bliss of the mountain’s the next day. For locals, the wonderful natural resources we have within a short drive are truly unique, and any added protection to these areas is an investment in the outdoor assets of Southern Nevada. For those residents who have chosen this unique lifestyle, AB352 is one more layer of protection against encroaching development that gives promise to the freedom of choosing this unique lifestyle for generations to come.

AB352 is one bill that does plan for the future and is a bill where foresight and action will result in an environmental annuity that will continue to pay dividends for our quality of life for generations to come.

I urge you to place AB352 on your agenda and encourage its’ passage.

Thank you in advance,

Lisa Mayo-DeRiso

Tom Padden Letter

A letter from Tom on the conditions at Mt.

Park Entrance Gates

Classic park entrance gates on both ends of the highway, at Summerlin and 160, (like the ones at Lake Mead) could serve to enhance the visitor experience and increase education, accountability, and funds for the park.  An entrance station could also help fund more law enforcement and educate drivers about the delicate flora and fauna […]
