New Bike Trail in South Lake Tahoe Dedicated on Thursday
Submitted by paula on Thu, 06/19/2014 - 11:59pm
The second segment of the Stateline to Stateline Bikeway was dedicated during a ceremony on Thursday. The 1.2-mile shared-use bike path connects Elks Point with Round hill Pines on the Nevada side.
This new stretch adds to the existing path for a total of 2.2 miles and provides access to Rabe Meadow with Nevada Beach and Round Hill Pines Resort.
Meanwhile, the North Demonstration Project is expected to begin construction in 2015 and the first phase will connect Incline Village to Sand Harbor State Park. Eventually the Stateline-to-Stateline Bikeway will span 30 miles and connect Stateline, Nevada to Crystal Bay, Nevada. The South and North demos along with other existing paths are all part of America's Most Beautiful Bikeway that will eventually circumnavigate the lake.
Speakers christening the new trail included Alfred Knotts, project manager Tahoe Transportation District; Curtis Fong, ride director Bike of the West; Steve Teshara, chair South Shore Transportation Management Association; Pedro Rodriguez, project manager Nevada Department of Transportation; and “B” Gorman, president of the Lake Tahoe South Shore Chamber of Commerce.
