Clark County Public Works is starting construction to improve the pedestrian experience on its roads. This undertaking, part of the road preservation program, is part of the upsurge in awareness around inclusivity and will bring the area up to speed with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Refinements to the pedestrian infrastructure will include new sidewalk curb ramps, detectable warning surfaces, and modernized pedestrian signals and pushbuttons. Work is scheduled to begin in late January and wrap up by early June. According to the Clark County official announcement, residents and visitors can brace for construction activity between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays, which could result in temporary lane and sidewalk closures.
For those navigating around work sites, traffic adjustments, and guided detours will be in place to ensure safety for all, with both laborers lending their hands to the projects and the public. A digital helping hand comes in the form of interactive maps where one can pinpoint the exact project locations, accessible on the Clark County Public Works website.
