Last chance to give opinion about SR89 corridor project via survey
Submitted by paula on Mon, 08/13/2018 - 8:18pm
The SR89 Recreation Management Plan is being created to develop transportation and visitation management strategies and address the challenges of the corridor’s extensive transportation and recreation travel demand. This is a collaboration of 17 agencies and organizations and the public has a chance to weigh in.
Emphasis of the plan will be on the whole corridor, the stretch from 15th street in South Lake Tahoe to the Placer County line at Sugar Pine Point State Park but will focus on the problem areas of Camp Richardson and Emerald Bay. This area sees almost 1.8M visitors a year, contains a 12-mile stretch of undeveloped shoreline, 7 trailheads, access to waterfalls and access to all forms of recreation.
Anyone who travels SR89 knows the challenges, from 1 parking place per 813 vehicles, delays on driving up to 30 minutes.
The plan, led by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, Tahoe Transportation District, and the U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, will develop transportation and visitation management strategies and address the challenges of the corridor’s extensive transportation and recreation travel demand.
Goals of the project are to improve corridor safety, expand travel choices, enhance the visitor experience, improve and leverage technology, protect the environment and promote economic vitality.
Time is running out to give input on the plan via a survey: https://designworkshop.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bE2H6GqtywXdTLL.
