Lake Tahoe just received $4.5 million for two bike projects.

Tahoe Transportation District secured the money through the Nevada Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Transportation. Development of a 3.2 mile segment between Stateline and Round Hill is part of the eventual 43-mile route along Highway 50; and the other is for a route connecting East Shore Drive National Scenic Byway from Incline Village to Sand Harbor State Park.

Nevada received $11.5 million for projects, with $4.5 million for the two Tahoe Transportation District initiatives.

    The side walk from the loop road to Kingsbury Grade along Hwy 50 next to Edgewood Golf Course cost $1.2 million as I recall. That is about 3/8 mile with a stream to cross. The meter spins fast at Tahoe.

    This will be a great addition to the pedestrian and bicycle network at South Shore.
