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.

Targeted Performance Measures

  • Acres of SEZ Restored or Enhanced
  • Miles of Pedestrian and Bicycle Routes Improved or Constructed

Threshold Categories

  • Recreation
  • Scenic Resources
  • Vegetation Preservation
  • Water Quality
  • Wildlife
