Representatives of the Nevada Department of Transportation, Lt. Governor Stavros Anthony’s office, and Mayor Neal McIntyre joined members of the nonprofit Main Street Fernley for a ribbon cutting to celebrate the completion of the new crosswalk from Silverlace Blvd. to the Main Street Art Park.
The crosswalk installation was finished shortly before Christmas. It was funded by a $16,844.43 grant from Nevada Main Street and matching funds of $5,028.52 in cash or in-kind contributions from Main Street Fernley, for a total cost of $21,883.95.
Joe Harrington, communications director for NDOT, said the lines in the crosswalk are not paint but a material called “thermoplastic,” which has to be heated to about 4,000 degrees before it’s applied and lasts much longer than paint.
