WINNEMUCCA — Discussions between the City of Winnemucca and the State of Nevada on the Bridge & Haskell Streets intersection have stalled once again as the Department of Transportation has acknowledged funds won't be available to construct a roundabout there anytime soon.

The issue was once again on the table at the Tuesday (April 17) meeting of the Winnemucca City Council. No action could be taken because the issue was not on the agenda, but the council requested the issue be placed on the next agenda.
