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.

A pebble loose in the water part (replacing all concrete) 4. Hurricane Polo makes a sudden turn and blows off the roof (again). With soft muscles after 7 months of no swimming, the only health left is my sense of humor :) Comment publication date: 10/1/26, 11:18 AM Comment source: Fernley Pool Renovation Moves Forward, One Test at a Time Comment author: PFB Comment text: Why can't you guys find competent contractors.. 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.
