Here are the top four stories today in Reno:

1. The Reno Police Department conducted a pedestrian safety operation on Friday that yielded 45 citations and two warnings. The operation targeted both pedestrians and drivers. (KOLO)
2. The Reno Fire Department is disposing of dangerous vegetation for the second year in a row. The goal is to help assist homeowners in protecting their homes from wildfires. Dumpsters for vegetation disposal are available today at Reno Fire Station 3 (580 W. Moana Lane). (Press Release Desk)
3. Protestors gathered outside Thompson Courthouse and the Federal Building following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade on Friday. Despite the decision, abortion is still legal in Nevada. (KRNV)
4. A teenage boy has died following a one-car crash in Southwest Reno. The 16-year-old's vehicle left the roadway at South McCarran and Cashill Boulevards and rolled several times. Police say speed seems to be a factor in the crash. (Reno Gazette Journal)
