Hi neighbors,
I hope you're having a fantastic week! Last week, we celebrated the opening of the new overpass on Grand Teton Drive, an exciting milestone for our community! This important project will improve traffic flow in the area and help shorten response times for our first responders. Even better, it was completed ahead of schedule and under budget!
A heartfelt thank you goes out to all who contributed to making this project a success: the city of Las Vegas Public Works and Traffic Safety departments, the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada, the Nevada Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration, and Las Vegas Paving.
Also, join us at our Splash Back to School (seeking vendors), Bocaditos With Brune and Small Business Breakfast coming up. Please see the "Events" section farther down in this newsletter for more information on these.
Finally, we're always just a call or email away. If there's anything you need, my team and I are here for you.
At your service,
 Councilwoman Nancy E. Brune, Ph.D.

Prioritizing Traffic Safety
I met with City Traffic Engineer and Public Works Deputy Director Joseph Norby to discuss the new improvements on Buffalo Drive near Arbor View High School.
Following the tragic death of McKenzie Scott, an Arbor View student hit by a drunk driver, our city team conducted a traffic safety study. As a result, improvements will be made including pedestrian-activated lights, new signage and a painted sidewalk.

Flipping the Switch
I 'flipped the switch' on the new traffic lights on the Grand Teton Bridge with our city's Traffic Safety team. These new traffic lights are part of our ongoing efforts to improve road safety, reduce congestion and ensure smoother commutes for everyone.
Supporting Our Unhoused Neighbors
Team Brune attended the Campus for Hope groundbreaking located in Ward 1. The campus will include 900 residential beds, on-site services and over 300 employees to provide sustainable, effective support for our unhoused community.
