Hey, Reno! Let's get you started this Wednesday with everything you need to know going on today in Reno.

Here are the top stories in Reno today:

  1. Members of Teamsters Local 533 employed by Keolis Transit say they have reached a tentative agreement on Tuesday morning with the Regional Transportation of Commission of Washoe County. The teamsters say the agreement will be submitted for ratification by the represented employees this week. If approved, the workers will return and transit operations will resume immediately. (KTVN)
  2. The nonprofit Scenic Nevada filed a lawsuit this month against the city of Reno challenging a developer's plan to build an archway and signs identifying the so-called Neon Line District. In the lawsuit, filed in the Second Judicial District Court on Nov. 19, lawyers for Scenic Nevada argue that the city's approval of an archway and two large signs in a development agreement was illegal. Mark Wray, Scenic Nevada's legal counsel for 15 years, told News 4-Fox 11 that part of the archway would be built on a city-owned property, which he said is not allowed under the terms of development agreements.
