If the Oakland Athletics land the public funding package being sought in the Legislature, traveling in the area of their proposed Las Vegas ballpark would be noticeably different come 2028.
A traffic study, commissioned by the A’s by engineering firm Kimley-Horn and obtained by the Review-Journal, lays out recommendations for how to increase travel in the area surrounding the Tropicana site, where the A’s would build a $1.5 billion, 30,000-seat ballpark.
If the A’s public funding bill, which is asking for $380 million between the state and Clark County, is approved, the team would plan to begin playing at the ballpark in five years.
The ongoing $305 million Interstate 15/Tropicana Avenue project is pointed to as a traffic benefit of the proposed stadium site.
