KTNV — As we see a rise in deadly and serious crashes on our roadways, we want to let you know how RTC is working to help alleviate that problem.
We're also listening to local residents about their concerns with an affordable housing development coming to their neighborhood.
RTC helping to address rise in deadly and serious crashes
Whether you're walking, biking, driving or taking the bus, we all know just how dangerous Southern Nevada's roads can be.
Now, a new community-driven effort is underway to make our streets safer for everyone.

New affordable housing development sparks mixed reactions from Las Vegas residents
We are listening to locals' concerns about a new affordable housing community being built on Cactus Avenue in the southwest valley.

Don't forget: Deadline to get your pets microchipped fast approaching
A reminder to pet owners that it's time to get your pets microchipped.
The mandatory deadline to microchip all dogs and cats more than four months old in unincorporated Clark County is coming up soon.
To help you get in compliance, the county is partnering with local organizations to offer $5 microchipping services on Wednesdays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Nevada SPCA.
You can make an appointment right now on the shelter's website.
If you live in unincorporated Clark County and still need to get your pets microchipped, you have until August 4 to do so. That's when the new rule takes effect.
Temperatures have remained static this week with highs reaching the upper 90s and low triple-digits through Wednesday in Las Vegas....Thursday will be no different!
Expect plenty of sunshine, calm conditions, and a high temp of 101 degrees in the afternoon. Sustained wind speeds generally stay under 10mph, but we'll see the occasional breeze upwards of 15-20mph in the valley.
We're already tracking a few incidents on our roadways.
We have two separate incidents on the I-15 that are disrupting traffic this morning, so if you need to use the freeway to get where you are going this morning, allow some extra time or use an alternate route.
