Robert Perea, The Fernley Reporter

With construction beginning Monday on the City of Fernley's Cottonwood Lane Reconstruction Project, Cottonwood Elementary School is asking parents to exercise caution as they drop off and pick up their children over the next several months.

The school sent a note to parents this weekend:

Hello Cottonwood Eagles! This is an important announcement. Please be advised of the Construction that will take place on Cottonwood beginning Monday the 5th of December. please view the links on the City of Fernley website or Cottonwood Website to view maps for detours, one way traffic, and access to Cottonwood Lane. We are asking parents to plan ahead for a smooth and quick drop off in the mornings. We will do our best to keep traffic moving smoothly. There will be construction flaggers to help move traffic on Cottonwood as well. Please plan your travel time knowing you may run into one way traffic, detours, wait time and weather. Thank you and Happy Friday!

According to the City's weekly Cottonwood Lane Reconstruction Update, for the week of Dec. 5- 9 Sierra Nevada Construction will be working on sewer and water improvements. This will occur on the west end of Cottonwood Lane between Hardie Lane and U.S. 50A/95A. Fernley Swimming Pool parking is still available from the access off of Hardie Lane.

Westbound traffic will be detoured to Hardie Lane and out through W. Shadow Lane to get back on to U.S. 50A/95A. Eastbound traffic will still be able to travel east on Cottonwood Lane.

For a large municipal facility like the indoor-outdoor Fernley Swimming Pool located at 300 Cottonwood Lane, a complete ground-up commercial build or major structural renovation typically spans 6 to 12 months or longer when factoring in large-scale engineering, public municipal permitting, specialized commercial HVAC/roofing, and health department inspections. The current renovation has been- The Fernley Swimming Pool has been closed for approximately six to seven months since late February 2026 for a major roof replacement and facility renovation. Now you sat October. Soooo 8 months for a new roof. The picture shows no other renovations.

It smells like sewage and it can be bad enough that people don’t want to be outside or open their windows. It would be helpful to get an investigative journalist help the Fernley residents get a clear answer from the City, NDEP, and any involved facilities. I was really disappointed that the smell was not disclosed by my realtor when I moved here. I enjoy Fernley and am seeing the improvements that are being made.
