Road not so grand

Dale from Las Vegas said Grand Teton Drive has been in “horrible condition” near Oso Blanca Road ever since a torrential downpour “ripped up the street” about five years ago. Since then, a developer has built houses on both sides of the heavily traveled street.

“I am tired of having my car beat up” by the rough patches, Dale said.

Engineers from the Las Vegas Public Works Department are designing a bridge that will go over U.S. Highway 95 at Grand Teton Drive, along with storm drain improvements just west of Oso Blanca, city spokeswoman Margaret Kurtz said.

That project is slated to begin in 2019, but Kurtz said crews will soon evaluate the pavement along Grand Teton to determine whether immediate repairs are needed.
