Are majority of residents against roundabouts?

The Town Board of Pahrump was voted out by the people of Pahrump because they did not listen or do what was important to the residents. Now the County Commissioners are representing us.

The overwhelming majority of the residents want a temporary or permanent traffic light at Highway 372 and Pahrump Valley Boulevard and at Highway 372 and Blagg Road. We don’t want or need roundabouts at these important intersections.

Tony Illia of Nevada Department of Transportation says they put roundabouts in Las Vegas in 1990. You never to this day seeany roundabouts on a main highway in Las Vegas. So why would NDOT and the County Commissioners want to put two roundabouts on our Highway 372 and spend millions of taxpayers’ money?

So PLEASE Commissioners, use your powers, your influence and your common sense to take care of this urgent matter now. Not next month or next year. Start out with temporary traffic lights like you did at Highway 160 and Homestead.

NDOT will do what you want them to do. Commissioners, will you be our heroes to help prevent so many accidents, injury or death at these intersections?

Who will we blame?? We know you have the money so use it now please.

Short-term rentals are not a threat to our community. They are an economic lifeline for many retirees, working families, and property owners like myself.

A town board is just that, a town board, no enforcement or regulatory authority.

If Dr. Waters wants to bring it back, he should list positive things that were in fact done and propose changes for the future – not make an argument based on a hypothetical.

In reference to Dr.Tom Waters’ letter that Pahrump needs a town board, I must disagree. A new town board would simply be redundant and offer nothing of value.

People may still wonder if the 2020 election was rigged, so read how narrowly our country avoided a shift toward Marxist socialism in 2024.

Does Pahrump really need a town board?

That’s a question we are all asking. Many Pahrump residents have already made the decision that we, the Pahrump voters, need the voice that only a town board can provide.

That was the cry from many on the left, only to find out “no, he’s alive, another false alarm.”
