May 19, 2025 UPDATE: Updated Parking Configuration Proposal for Nevada Way
Based on community feedback and ongoing communication with Nevada Way stakeholders, we have updated our approach to the parking configuration. Option 2A, which replaces the center parking with diagonal parking on the west side of the street and parallel parking on the east side.
This revised configuration also supports the goals of the Nevada RTC Complete Streets initiative, which promotes roadways that are safe, accessible, and convenient for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and transit riders of all ages and abilities. Option 2A reflects these priorities by enhancing safety, accessibility, and multimodal usability while preserving community character.
Key benefits of Option 2A include:
- Preserves existing trees except one tree will be removed for the addition of an ADA accessible parking space
- Allows sidewalk extensions on both sides to meet ADA standards
- Maintains a 24-foot clearance for emergency vehicles
- Provides longer vehicle parking on the north side
- Preserves the existing parade route
- Supports outdoor dining opportunities
- Distributes ADA throughout Nevada Way with access to upgraded crosswalks
- Adds motorcycle parking
- Improves pedestrian safety and accessibility, in alignment with Complete Streets goals
In addition, the project includes:
- Full street improvements with new asphalt and striping
- Upgraded crosswalks
- Additional vehicle parking on Wyoming Street to offset parking changes on Nevada Way
- Lighting of existing trees along the corridor that currently don’t have festive lights
Importantly, Option 2A will allow us to meet our construction timeline with work beginning on July 7—a period identified by the Nevada Way stakeholders as the slowest time of year for operations. This timing is intended to minimize disruption and maintain access and visibility for local businesses throughout the process.
While Option 2A results in fewer parking spaces along the south side due to the change from angled to parallel parking, this is balanced by the addition of angled parking on nearby Wyoming Street.
Initial feedback from stakeholders been highly positive, and Option 2A represents a comprehensive solution that meets the functional, aesthetic, and safety objectives of the project—while aligning with the long-term vision of the RTC Complete Streets program.

BOULDER CITY (May 13, 2025) - Now is your chance to learn more about this project, which will ensure Nevada Way complies with ADA, beautify and enhance this historic stretch road. The project is intended to create a vibrant, safe, accessible, and attractive gathering place for residents and tourists!
The street is in disrepair - more than 20 years old. Water service lines under the street are 50 years old. Boulder City staff invited business owners to share input throughout 2024. Reconstruction includes updating the waterlines to protect our water distribution system, and improvements to better align with ADA requirements. The project will also provide better visibility of pedestrians and local storefronts. Project is funded by Southern Nevada Regional Transportation Commission.
Goal: Complete work from Wyoming to Colorado by end of September 2025 – before Boulder City’s event season!
