Transportation Program Build and Enhance Trail Networks
Relocate a section of the South Lake Tahoe Bikeway out of the Upper Truckee Marsh and into the adjacent uplands in the vicinity of Link Road and create a direct connection to Sussex Avenue. This project will allow for significant SEZ and Wetland restoration and formalize a heavily trafficked native surface route that is much more direct. The existing alignment was intended to be temporary until acquisitions were completed.
