11:19 pm
in summerlin...after clark county officials voted today.... to give that land.... to faith lutheran middle and high schools. homestretch drive separates... faith lutheran's current campus and the land.... they just bought.... for expansion. earlier proposals considered moving the street itself... or building a bridge. but... county commissioners instead voted to get rid of the street.... altogether. neighbors are upset.... because the decision came without even a final drawing of the school's plans. dolly panagopoulos / lives nearby - i think it was the wrong decision and it was made that? i'm really disappointed because i feel like we have no control of what's happening to our land." the school did verbally agree to allow.... part of its new property to be used by pedestrians... cyclists... and more importantly... emergency vehicles. no word yet.... on a final price tag. we're learning more tonight about the city's first bike sharing system.. set to arrive in downtown las vegas this summer..
11:20 pm
the program will have 180 bikes stationed all over the downtown area. all you have to do is pick one up.. ride wherever you need to go.. then return the bike at the nearest station. "what people are looking for are choices and especially when you're in an area like downtown and you have so many attractions that are relatively close to one another, you want to enable free movement between those attractions and that's what a bike share system does," david swallow, the senior director of engineering and technology with rtc said. details aren't final.. but it's expected to cost about 80-dollars a year to take part in the program. that will give you unlimited community.. and save you the hassle of equipment. the rtc plans to have the first 10 stations in place by the end of august.. then hopefully expand from there. why clark county is demanding more money..... from ride-sharing companies like uber and lyft... in the wake of a new report on cabs overcharging customers!!! and small business owners are taking up arms to protect themselves against the threat

11:23 pm
rates were increased even as gas prices were coming down. that report comes as the las vegas city council makes a move to tack-on more fees for ride-sharing companies. councilmembers approved a new ordinance today to require a 50-dollar semi-annual fee for each active driver with companies like uber and lyft. that works out to 10-thousand dollars a year for each 100 drivers they employ. we'll be right back.... with a final look at your wake-up weather forecast. first.. here's jimmy kimmel with a preview of tonight's show.. right after action news.
