Transportation Program Build and Enhance Trail Networks
The Project area covers Sawmill Road from U.S. Highway 50 to Lake Tahoe Boulevard. Due to funding constraints and seasonal construction constraints, the Project was split into two Phases (2A and 2B). The Sawmill 2B Bike Path and Erosion Control Project area covers from U.S. Highway 50 to the end of Phase 2A near Echo View Drive. The Project connected to the existing multi-use path facility at U.S. Highway 50, installed erosion control best management practices (BMPs) and revegetation.
