AGREEMENT CALLS FOR FIRE UPGRADES, POLICE PRESENCE
Until the parking plan exists, though, planners cannot know where the flyovers or tunnels need to be constructed. The parking plan is due to the county next September and the team must then submit a pedestrian study based on that document by November 2018. The stadium is scheduled to open by July 2020.
The team also will be responsible for operating and maintaining the pedestrian systems until it and the county agree on transferring responsibility to the government. Included in the agreement are previously discussed pedestrian improvements such as widening of sidewalks on Las Vegas Boulevard South and Hacienda Avenue, and addition of new sidewalks on Russell Road, Dean Martin Drive and Polaris Avenue.
In the agreement, the team consents to fund fire upgrades including two mini pumpers, two Gator-type utility vehicles, two enclosed trailers and two tow vehicles at a cost of $846,000. The costs also include $280,000 for 25 portable radios and associated equipment, and $250,000 to upgrade the pre-empting system of nearby traffic intersections from infrared to GPS.
The document explicitly states that providing this equipment for use by the county fire department does not entitle the team or stadium to higher priority response than other emergencies.
For Las Vegas Metro Police, the Raiders will build an interview room for suspects and victims, a transport area to accommodate detention center buses, and two emergency command centers — one in the upper levels of the stadium and a backup on the ground level.
Acting as the county zoning commission, the Clark County Commission will consider the development agreement at 9 a.m. meeting Wednesday. adam.candee@gmgvegas.com / 702-948-7854 / @adamcandee
