Weekly Update ~ 9.11.26
Hundreds of new shade trees to benefit the RED LINE corridor
When complete, the RED LINE corridor will have nearly 500 new trees. Some trees are being planted in the median to beautify the corridor, but most are being planted along the sidewalk for shade. The trees include a variety of species that are fast growing, heat and drought tolerant, and will provide significant shade to reduce ground temperatures.
All trees have been planted in the City of Las Vegas portion of the project — along Maryland Pkwy (north of Sahara Ave), through downtown and into the Medical District. Crews are currently planting trees along Maryland Pkwy, between Russell Rd and Flamingo Rd.
Safe. Comfortable. Accessible Connections!
