During the public comment period, several citizens expressed strong opposition to the Interstate Bridge Replacement (IBR) program and the proposed inclusion of Light Rail Transit (LRT) in Clark County. Testifiers cited skyrocketing project costs, past voter rejections of light rail, and skepticism over projected ridership data and federal funding requirements. Instead of funding light rail, multiple commenters advocated for adding auxiliary vehicle lanes to the bridge to better address traffic congestion.
