Build and Enhance Trail Networks
Completed and open to the public in fall 2021, the South Tahoe Greenway Shared Use Trail Phases 1b & 2 is the second implementation phase of the entire Greenway project, now named the Dennis T. Machida Greenway Memorial Trail. It expands on the existing bicycle network and connections in South Lake Tahoe. The approximately one mile shared use trail between Glenwood Way and Sierra Blvd, includes an elevated boardwalk near Trout Creek and Bijou Creek. A new bike bridge over Trout Creek, improves local street crossings, and connectivity to nearby amenities.
