America's Most Beautiful Bikeway |
The TTD is working with other local, state and federal agencies on this project, beginning with the Nevada side of the Tahoe Basin.
Other Sponsoring Agencies - In alphabetical order, they include California Tahoe Conservancy, Caltrans, Carson City, City of South Lake Tahoe, Douglas County, El Dorado County, Incline Village General Improvement District, Nevada Division of State Parks, Nevada Division of State Lands, North Lake Tahoe Resort Association, Tahoe City Public Utility District, Tahoe Metropolitan Planning Organization, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, Truckee North Tahoe Transportation Management Association, USDA Forest Service and Washoe County.
Supporting Partners - The
Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) and the Washoe Tribe also support the project.
Location - Connecting existing segments with about 162 miles of new trail construction. Initial demonstration projects are planned for east of Incline Village to south of Sand Harbor (North/East Shore) and Lake Parkway/commercial core to Round Hill Pines Beach (South/East Shore).
Details on the Nevada Stateline to Stateline Bikeway Project.
History - Although existing bicycle/pedestrian paths are popular, the use of non-auto transportation, within the Tahoe Basin and to adjacent destinations, has been limited by the lack of a complete network. The need for broadening transportation choices and providing an alternative to private car use is becoming a priority as the number of area residents and visitors continues to
increase.
The Nevada side of the lake, where separated bicycle paths are unavailable, provides a prime example. Popular public beaches and coves along the East Shore are accessed primarily by car. The environment is impacted not only by higher emissions, but also by shoulder parking with erosion and water quality consequences.
Recent surveys have indicated public support for an expanded, around-the-lake bicycle/pedestrian trail.
Design - Initial concepts call for a combination of exclusive bicycle/pedestrian paths, off-street right of way, striped on-road lanes and signed shared-use roadways. Slated for the planning and design team are: AECOM, Alta Planning + Design, LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc., Lumos & Associates and Tom Packard & Associates.
Timing - A feasibility study is in progress, along with a draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for the North Demonstration Project. A Notice of Preparation has been prepared. A Public Scoping Meeting was held on October 5, 2011 at the Chateau at Incline Village.
Goals/Benefits - America's Most Beautiful Bikeway is being developed to provide:
Safer Bicycling and Walking Opportunities - to encourage use and promote a healthier lifestyle
An Alternative to Private Car Use - to reduce environmental impact, improving air quality by decreasing emissions and lake clarity by reducing particulate run-off
An Unparalleled Recreation Experience - the bike path itself
Input - By involving the community-at-large in the planning process, greater stewardship and
support of the implementation, maintenance/management, and funding of America's Most Beautiful Ridel can be encouraged.
