Segment 10
In 1999, the City of Boulder City in cooperation with the Southern Nevada
Water Authority identified a new pipeline corridor that could provide raw water
as well as treated water to Boulder City. The new alignment follows the
proposed trail corridor from the new treatment plant around Railroad Pass to
Boulder City.
This proposal could address some significant issues for the trail- most
importantly, the access behind the Railroad Pass Casino and the rock issues
present near that site. The waterline continues east from Railroad Pass
along segment 5 that has been awarded a TEA-21 grant.
It is recommended by the Partnership that the grant be delayed until the
water line is constructed which is scheduled for completion in 2001. A letter to
the City suggesting the grant delay was submitted by the partnership in late
1999.
These segments have been also been included in the SNPLMA grant request (it
has been identified as priority #3 for SNPLMA Community Trails and Open Space
Program)

LEAD TRAIL PLANNING, DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT ENTITY:
Henderson and Southern Nevada Water Authority
PROPOSED OR PENDING LAND USE CHANGES/OR OTHER OPPORTUNITIES OR OBSTACLES:
Part of Henderson's trail plan. There is a potential future power line
project and associated access roads proposed adjacent to an existing IPP power line
that could affect trail development. There is a proposed Boulder City
pipeline that could affect the ultimate trail alignment.
TRAIL DEVELOPMENT OVERVIEW
SUMMARY. This trail will develop in phases. Some grading work is
required to clearly establish the trail. Most of the trail can take
advantage of the existing dirt road between Equestrian Drive and the SNWA
proposed water treatment facility. Initially, the trail surface will be
graded dirt. Segments 6 through 10 are part of a City of Henderson SNPLMA
grant application.

Remember desert tortoises and big horn sheep have the
"right-of-way" and are not to be disturbed
even if they are on
the trail or block your way.
