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
