LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — The City of Henderson is seeking public feedback on potential improvements to Lake Mead Parkway as construction continues on the Reimagine Boulder Highway project.
The city wants to improve the 8.4-mile corridor from Interstate 11 to Lake Las Vegas with the goal of improving safety, mobility and quality of life along the main artery through Henderson.
Jose Rodas, who lives off of Lake Mead Parkway, said he does not want another road improvement project like Reimagine Boulder Highway.
“It is ridiculous, especially commuting to work back and forth sometimes. Triples the amount of time it takes to get anywhere,” Rodas said.
Residents divided on proposed changes
Rodas said his priority is keeping traffic moving and opposes taking away lanes or lowering the speed limit on Lake Mead Parkway, similar to changes made on Boulder Highway.
“There are sidewalks, there are crosswalks, what more do you need?” he said.
The city said that while the corridor has historically been designed primarily for vehicles, continued growth means more people are walking, biking, or using transit. For many community members, these are essential ways to get around, according to the city.
Survey asks about transportation preferences
A newly released survey asks residents who live or commute along Lake Mead Parkway how often they use the roadway, and how they get around, from public bus to car to ride share.
The survey also asks how travel experience could be improved, whether residents want more bus stops, bike lanes, trees or public art, and if the speed limit should be reduced.
Paul Smith said he catches the bus and has to leave two or three hours ahead of time. Smith said he welcomes more buses but thinks construction on Boulder Highway needs to be finished before anything else begins.
“Slow down, plan better, and let’s get this wrapped up,” Smith said.
The results of the survey will help decide what needs to be changed. By mid-to-late 2026, the city hopes to have a final concept design approved.
The Lake Mead Parkway survey is available through March 15. In addition to the online survey, the city will host a series of in-person public meetings. The first meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 26, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the America First Center.
