South Tahoe Greenway Shared-Use Trail

South Tahoe Greenway Shared-Use Trail

The Greenway establishes a Class 1 or better trail and provides the backbone of the bicycle trail network in the core of South Lake Tahoe, linking residential and lodging uses to jobs, schools, shopping, and recreation and community areas. Figure 1 illustrates the general Greenway alignment and project location. The 3.86 miles of proposed new trail linking Sierra Tract with Van Sickle Bi-State Park incorporates a section of existing bike trail at the South Lake Tahoe Community Play Fields and completes a bicycle network connection of over four miles. The Greenway generally follows the former Caltrans U.S. Hwy 50 Bypass Corridor and rights-of-way (former Caltrans ROW), encompassing other public parcels nearby as needed to improve the connection or reduce or avoid environmental effects.
