RTC approves $29,740 for Yerington to repair Pizen Switch Road sidewalks, drainage and potholes

The Lyon County Regional Transportation Commission on July 9 approved a $29,740 expenditure request from the City of Yerington to repair damaged streets and sidewalks on Pizen Switch Road.

Yerington City Manager Jerry Bryant told the commission the requested funds would cover repairs from the Raley’s exit south to Goldfield, with work focused on sidewalks, drainage issues caused by a nearby car wash and severe potholes that exceed the capacity of the city’s small maintenance crew. Bryant said the city is trying to build its fund balance to meet matching requirements for larger, grant-funded projects.

Commissioner Scott Huntley moved to approve the expenditure request, Commissioner Cody Wagner seconded, and the motion passed 4-0. There was no public comment recorded.

Next steps: Yerington will carry out repairs and continue building its fund balance to position itself for grant applications.
