The Sparks Street Business Improvement Association is considering adding a zip line to increase activity on the street, according to BIA executive director Les Gagne.
The zip line would consist of four parallel lines above the street, running about 300 metres either from Metcalfe to O'Connor or from O'Connor to Bank, said Gagne.
The BIA had been looking for an attraction to add to the strip that would increase traffic and bring in more people after 4 p.m., he said, adding that the zip line would be something fun and exciting that the community could participate in.
The line would be constructed by Flightlinez, a Canadian company in Las Vegas, according to Gagne.
Currently, the BIA will bring in an engineer to asses the requirements and structure. Gagne hopes to have the project underway in May.
Gagne noted that Freemont Street, a pedestrian mall in Las Vegas that installed a zip line, saw major economic growth as a result of the new addition.
