Meeting in Incline about future bike path

The Nevada Department of Transportation will host a public information meeting on July 26 to provide information about the Stateline-to-Stateline bike path that will be built over the next two to three years in Incline Village.

The meeting will update the community, and provide information on the project construction schedule and traffic impacts.

To project is a three-plus mile shared-use path from the south end of Incline Village to Sand Harbor State Park. An underpass will be constructed beneath the highway to bring the path from the east to west side of the road near the Flume Trail. Two new parking areas will be constructed near the Ponderosa Ranch and Tunnel Creek Café.

Centerline rumble strips and emergency roadside turnouts will also be added to Highway28.

In addition, water quality improvements such as enhanced roadside drainage inlets, sediment filtration systems and erosion control will be installed to help preserve the quality of stormwater entering Lake Tahoe.

The meeting will be held from 4-7pm at the Chateau, 955 Fairway Blvd. in Incline Village, with an informational presentation at 5:30pm.
