Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Reno public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Planning Commission Bylaws and Consent Agenda Rules
The commission is updating its own rulebook — new consent agenda limits, attendance requirements (commissioners must make 75% of meetings), and limits on virtual attendance. These changes shape how quickly and transparently development cases move through the city.
West 4th Street Roundabout Public Art Task Force Formation
The task force is narrowing down a massive list of artists to choose up to three finalists for a new public art installation at the West 4th Street roundabout. This project will bring a prominent new cultural landmark to the West 4th Street corridor.
J Resort Pedestrian Skyways
The council is considering allowing two elevated walkways over West Fourth Street and Ralston Street to connect the J Resort with nearby properties.
Eisan Avenue Right-of-Way Abandonment
Adjacent property owners want the city to abandon a dead-end stretch of East Fifth Street east of Tacchino Street, saying it's misused for illegal camping. Board members flagged that a dirt road there gives the Coney Island Bar informal access — and the applicants haven't talked to the bar yet.
