Tilson Tracker Day 200

Reflecting on 200 Days of Disruption

Two hundred days. For 200 days, residents of Downtown Las Vegas have endured the chaos, inconvenience, and frustration caused by the Tilson and Gigapower fiber installation project. From blocked sidewalks and hazardous school zones to roads left in disrepair, this project has impacted nearly every aspect of our daily lives. While some neighborhoods have begun to see progress, others remain trapped in the cycle of disruption. And now, more neighborhoods are at risk of becoming the next targets.

Neighborhoods That Have Felt the Impact

Residents in neighborhoods like Washington Square, Cracken, Arthur McCants, the Cultural Corridor Coalition, Palomino Area, Sundown, Meadows, Upland Alta, Upland Harmony, Park Place, Crestwood, Huntridge, Mayfair, and Southridge have all experienced these issues for some or all of the past 200 days. These neighborhoods have endured blocked sidewalks, ADA violations, damaged property, unsafe road conditions, and poor communication from contractors.

Who Could Be Next?

If you live in one of the following neighborhoods, now is the time to pay attention and get involved:

  • John S. Park

  • Beverly Green

  • Arts District

  • Rancho Manor

  • Rancho Nevada Estates

  • McNeil Estates

  • Scotch 80’s

These areas could soon face the same challenges as their neighbors. Without significant changes to oversight, accountability, and restoration standards, the issues we’ve seen will likely spread.

A Warning for What’s to Come

If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the past 200 days, it’s that these disruptions aren’t isolated incidents—they are systemic. Tilson and Gigapower’s failure to adhere to traffic control plans, restore roads properly, and communicate effectively with residents is not limited to a single neighborhood. Each new area added to their project is at risk of facing:

  • Blocked sidewalks with no ADA-compliant alternatives.

  • Roads left in disrepair for weeks or months.

  • Property damage from careless excavation.

  • Disrupted school zones and unsafe conditions for children.

  • A lack of accountability for meeting deadlines and restoration promises.

Looking Forward

As we reflect on the last 200 days, it’s clear that the community’s voice is more important than ever. We must continue to document these issues, demand better from contractors, and push the City of Las Vegas to enforce stricter oversight and penalties for non-compliance.

What You Can Do

If you live in one of the neighborhoods that could be next, take proactive steps now:

  1. Document Your Neighborhood: Take photos of your sidewalks, streets, and property before any work begins to have a record of “before” conditions.

  2. Stay Informed: Monitor updates on Tilson’s progress and planned work in your area.

  3. Report Issues Early: Use our Share Your Story form to report problems as soon as they arise.

  4. Join the Advocacy Effort: Connect with neighbors in affected areas to share information and resources.

Tilson Tracker: Beyond 200 Days We’re not stopping here. The Tilson Tracker will continue to document these issues, advocate for change, and hold all parties accountable. Together, we can ensure that this project’s impact is managed responsibly and that our neighborhoods are protected moving forward.
