PROJECT 2:

WEST FOURTH STREET SAFETY

Project completion expected in November 2026.

Project Scope

The West Fourth Street Safety Project will reconstruct the roadway and introduce new safety and mobility features along the corridor. Planned improvements include:

 

  • Roadway Reconstruction

    • Complete rebuilding of the roadway for long-term durability and safety

  • Intersection Upgrades

    • New roundabouts at Stoker Avenue and Summit Ridge

  • Multi-Use Paths

    • South side: continuous path from Vine Street to Stoker Avenue

    • North side: continuous path from Vine Street to McCarran Boulevard

  • Lane Reductions

    • Streamlined roadway with fewer lanes from Edwards Way to McCarran Boulevard to improve safety and calm traffic
       

​These improvements will create a safer, more connected corridor for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians while modernizing West Fourth Street for the future.
