The Project site is along Apache Avenue from the US 50/ SR 89 intersection to the Lake Tahoe Environmental Science Magnet School and proposes to implement sustainable mobility improvements to provide a safe walkable and bikeable roadway. The project will result in reconstructing approximately 0.39 miles of Apache Avenue with the addition of curb and gutter, a stormwater drainage system, a Class 1 shared use path, a sidewalk, and updating existing Class 2 bike lanes on the northbound and southbound sides. Proposed safety improvements include increased signage and a driver speed feebdback sign, high visibility crosswalks and pavement markings, and ADA curb ramps.
