With the tremendous growth occurring in the northwest part of the valley, the city of Las Vegas is embarking on a planning process to ensure that development occurs in a manner that preserves a high quality of life for the residents.  The Northwest Regional Open Space Plan is intended to identify open space desires and opportunities and provide a framework for development that accommodates them.

The consulting firm Greenways, Inc. will be spearheading this community driven effort.  Their challenge is to reach consensus among the many user groups and affected agencies on a means to address their various needs.  The end result will be a plan that provides for the preservation of view sheds and natural areas, as well as an interconnected system of trails, parks, and other recreational facilities. 

Achieving this within the context of rapid growth will require a tremendous amount of research and community outreach.  This will be accomplished over the next several months through committee meetings, public open houses, and thorough review of existing plans and documents.
