Restoration is Just as Painful as the Original Work
240 Days Later... and It’s Still a Mess
A lot of things take less than 240 days:
A full NFL season from kickoff to the Super Bowl.
The lifespan of a mosquito
A full school year.
NASA's mission to send a spacecraft to Mars.
Yet here we are, 240 days into Tilson and Gigapower’s fiber installation project, and the restoration phase is proving to be just as painful as the original work—if not worse. Instead of a clean, efficient repair process, residents are dealing with:
Ongoing Disruptions and Broken Promises
Repeated Excavation: Streets that were already torn up are being dug up again to fix rushed, inadequate trench work.
Shoddy Asphalt Patches: Pothole-ridden, uneven road surfaces that look worse than before construction began.
Sidewalk Hazards: Sloppy concrete work, stacked yellow trench plates, and sidewalks left inaccessible to pedestrians.
Continued No Parking Chaos: Signage with no clear start or end dates, leading to more confusion and unnecessary towing.
Restoration Work That Feels Like More Construction
Instead of wrapping things up smoothly, Tilson’s “restoration” feels like a whole new phase of construction, creating additional hazards and prolonging neighborhood disruption.
Work zones still left unattended for days at a time.
Flaggers missing at active sites, creating dangerous conditions.
No clear timeline on when each neighborhood will actually be finished.
When Will It End?
Despite the Notice of Default issued by the City of Las Vegas, we have yet to see a real acceleration in proper restoration. The City claimed all restoration would be completed by April 2025, but at this rate, will that even happen?
Enough is Enough
240 days of blocked sidewalks, busted roads, and empty promises is unacceptable. The City must enforce strict penalties for continued delays and demand that restoration work meets proper quality standards.
