NDOT meets with council to discuss possible roundabout

Print

WINNEMUCCA — While everyone agreed something should be done with the intersection of Bridge and Haskell Streets, neither residents nor the Winnemucca City Council thought that “something” should be a roundabout.

Having met with representatives of the Nevada Department of Transportation on Tuesday (Jan. 10), at least members of the council are beginning to think it’s not such a bad idea.

Council votes against request for narrower street in new subdivision

Print

WINNEMUCCA — The Winnemucca City Council voted against allowing the project planner for the proposed Sonoma Ridge subdivision to shrink the width of the proposed street addition a wee bit.  The vote was Dec. 13.

Silva addresses personnel issues; vehicle replacements

Print

WINNEMUCCA — Chief of Police Eric Silva was recently before the Winnemucca City Council to outline his plans for keeping the department staffed, and the staff in working vehicles.

When he took over the top spot in September, Silva’s department was short four officers: one was on administrative leave, two were on long-term sick leave, and there was one position open.

Silva told the council if he loses even one more person the police department will incur overtime every single day on both shifts.
