We need your input: Deer Springs District

What do you want to see on Deer Springs Way? Please tell us!

 

The City is currently conducting a Livable Centers Study for the Deer Springs District, a 2.5-mile stretch of Deer Springs Way from Commerce Street to Pecos Road. Livable centers are vibrant, walkable communities that include transportation options, multiple housing choices, shops, restaurants and easy access to jobs and services.


Help us shape the future of the Deer Springs District. Please learn about the project at cityofnorthlasvegas.com/DeerSprings and submit your comments through Friday, Oct. 19. We’ll use your feedback to create conceptual plans to share during the next phase of the planning process.

Welcome to Craig Road, Terrible Herbst!

Following on the heels of the highly-successful debuts of In-N-Out Burger and Cracker Barrel, Terrible Herbst is the latest company to develop in the Craig Corridor.

 

The company is building a new gas station and convenience store on land owned by the Morgan and Hachquet families, immediately adjacent to In-N-Out Burger and Cracker Barrel.

 

Terrible Herbst Oil Company was originally founded by Ed Herbst in Chicago in 1937. While the business was distinctively family-owned – they regularly offered pony rides and bubble gum to kids and customers – the company was christened “Terrible” by competitors because of the competition that would arise whenever Herbst moved into a new area.

 

In 1959, Herbst opened the very first Terrible's in Las Vegas. Today, Terrible Herbst operates more than 130 convenience stores and more than 40 car washes throughout Nevada, California, Arizona and Utah.

    A mammoth project for Tule Springs

    Last month, our City Council approved a partnership with Tahoe Mack, a local student who is designing a 16-foot statue of a Columbian mammoth, and the Protectors of Tule Springs. Tahoe’s mammoth will be displayed in the Villages of Tule Springs and will welcome guests to our unique urban national monument, the Tule Springs Fossil Beds.

     

    The statue will be made with recycled metal that has been dumped illegally throughout the monument. Tahoe is working with artists Luis Varela-Rico and Joel Spencer to create a truly incredible and one-of-a-kind work.

     

    Please help her gather the materials she needs and keep our wonderful national park clean! Join us for a November park cleanup.

    NLVFD for a day

    I had the honor to ride along with our fantastic North Las Vegas Fire Department. What a job! I learned a ton and gained even more respect for the work that our talented and skilled firefighters do day in and day out to keep our City safe.

    Craig Ranch Campout

    My daughter and I had a blast at the Craig Ranch Regional Park Campout last month! We rode our bicycles to the park and had a ton of fun watching the movie, "Sing," and enjoying the deejay dance party.
