South Tahoe Greenway Shared Use Trail Planning and Future Phases

The Dennis T. Machida Memorial Greenway envisions paved trail connections from Sierra Boulevard to Van Sickle Bi-State Park, creating the second leg of the non-motorized transportation network in South Shore. Project approval occurred in 2011 and the 3.86 mile trail, including neighborhood connectors, is being constructed in phases. Phases 1a, 1b, and 2 are complete, and Phase 1c planning was recently initiated, with details reported under separate EIP projects. Phase 3 implementation is postponed. The Upper Truckee Bridge at Johnson Meadow project will extend the Greenway to the South Tahoe WYE. Future projects could extend the Greenway to Meyers.
