LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Regional Transportation Commission decided against building a costly light rail system along the Maryland Parkway corridor.
Thursday, the RTC Board of Commissioners voted unanimously for a bus rapid transit system that is going to cost about $345 million, according to the agency.
Price was a factor in the decision as the Maryland Parkway route stretches nearly nine miles – starting near McCarran, going past UNLV and ending at the Las Vegas medical district.
