A judge heard motions regarding a Red Rock development plan Thursday.
Save Red Rock is looking to prevent developers from building more than 5,000 homes at Red Rock Canyon .
The battle has been going on for years.
Clark County and the developer want to rezone the area near Red Rock Canyon so thousands of homes can be built.
Save Red Rock says all the homes will hurt the ecosystem and the amount of people will cause more traffic on nearby roads.
On Thursday morning in court, a judge denied a couple of motions.
In one of them, the judge ruled to go forward with plans drafted in 2016 versus the old plans from 2011.
In the other motion, the judge said he would not throw out a lawsuit Clark County has against Save Red Rock.
The possible housing development could still happen. The Clark County Commission is scheduled to vote on it Feb. 22.

Today for #ThankYouThursday we would like to highlight
Alan Snel, a business sponsor and author in support of Red Rock Canyon.
In his book, 'Long Road Back to Las Vegas: How Las Vegas and the Golden Knights healed a journalist's wounds' he tells how "a distracted motorist drove his car into bicyclist/journalist Alan Snel while Snel was bicycling in Florida. The violent crash knocked out Snel. But not for long. Three months later, Snel returned to Las Vegas to launch a dynamic news website in June 2017 called LVSportsBiz.com that documents Las Vegas' exploding sports industry."

This is just another reason to protect the Red Rock Scenic Byway with entry gates like they do for the Lake Mead Scenic Byway.

Issues. About the hwy !! Try getting out & hiking calico. All. The turn outs seeing people. T.P & dog crap. All over. The turn outs and trails have been a shit fest for awhile Dog & people Simple rule pick it up take it out. Show some iniative and fill A bag full of crap To bad the Darwin's can't. Get Tix. For being slobs Even black Velvet gettiing bad inplaces Sigh. Some folks just. Suck My rant is over
It's everywhere....no gates needed, for gosh sakes. It happens in Valley of Fire....after the gates.
All I did last summer is pick up household trash while working for the BLM. That is a sign of the times, nobody respects public land.
I really hope that was dumped, and didn't inadvertently fall off of a truck. I almost hit a dumpster once that was sitting in the middle of a freeway in CA.
I was out they're this afternoon; the recliners are gone.
There was a set of recliners a day after the fridge!!😿
We have really good trash service in Vegas. They will take appliances, you just need to call and give a head’s up. No excuse for dumping.
And someone else put two reclining chairs at the entrance of the model airplane field.... People are junking up the place.
I get out to lake Mead often, gates do not stop it unfortunately.
Saw that yesterday on the side of the road and an old sofa. Makes me so angry
I saw a recliner chair on the side of the road before and I saw the refrigerator yesterday
Lake Mead is open 24 hours a day. Red Rock? Not so much.
Old refrigerator dumped on side of roadway. This is everywhere. What I hate the most is gabage bags. Meat bones etc that wild animals smelln rip the bags open n winds spread it to the far corners n the trees have unsavory items hanging.
If you can drive that far to dump it you can drive to the dump instead.
I saw a couch dumped on the side of 159 the other day!
There are other much larger issues than making that highway gated.
So someone took the time to drive it out to Redrock but couldn’t drive it to the dump?? Ridiculous!
Not just garbage what's up with all the glas? People can be such a-ho***les. No respect for our Earth whatsoever 🙁
This makes me so angry
Seriously??? And how much further/more time would it have been to take it to the dump to dispose of it properly? What the hell is wrong with some people?!?!?
Agreed! I saw that last weekend- so ridiculous! Who would do that?
i hope it was empty inside
Oh my gosh!!! Crazy!
That would really increase property values at tax payers expense...
Horrible. Saw it today too.
