Planning commissioners will hear a report on Barton’s efforts to build a hospital in Stateline at their meeting 1 p.m. today, which has prompted opposition from residents there. Planning commissioners meet at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1616 Eighth St., in Minden.

Night work on Highway 395 is continuing. During my run to Gardnerville on Monday to buy insect repellant, I spent about 15 minutes going from the S-curve to Gilman Avenue. I saw around three NDOT pickups stuck in traffic going the other way.
Traffic is reportedly being routed to the inside lanes of the highway today and Wednesday. There were still some crosswalks missing stripes and cones surrounding the concrete collars for manholes and utilities.
The forecast calls for sunny skies and a high temperature of 85 degrees with the wind out of the west at 10-15 mph, gusting to 25 mph.
