Douglas commissioners to vote on Stateline-to-Stateline bike trail
Douglas County commissioners on Sept. 15 are expected to approve environmental documents, the feasibility report and allocate money for the Stateline-to-Stateline Bikeway.
The meeting starts at 1:30pm at the Stateline offices.
It was hoped the South Demonstration Project from Stateline to Roundhill Pines Beach would have broken ground this year. However, the environmental assessment by the U.S. Forest Service took longer than expected. With that document completed, the bike path should start to materialize in 2012.
Eventually the 30-mile trail will end in Crystal Bay.

A BIKE PATH/LANE ALL THE WAY AROUND THE LAKE WOULD BE A GREAT WAY TO GET LOTS OF VISITORS TO VISIT LAKE TAHOE…(& SPEND THEIR MONEY! :)
OF COURSE, A SAFE WAY TO BIKE AROUND THE LAKE WOULD BE A REAL BOON FOR ALL THE LOCALS, AS WELL…BOTH FOR COMMUTING (LESS CARS ON THE ROAD!!) AND RECREATIONAL USE.
THE SOUTH, WEST & NORTH SIDES OF THE LAKE
HAVE GOT SOME BIKE PATHS. NOW THE EAST SIDE SHOULD BE WORKING ON A BIKE PATH!
I DO THE “BIKE AROUND THE LAKE” INCLUDING DOING IT THIS SEPTEMBER…AT AGE 70! THERE ARE MANY SECTIONS THAT ONLY ALLOW 0″- 12″ OF SPACE FOR A BIKER. ON HIGHWAY 28, THE ROCKS ARE SO CLOSE TO THE ROAD THAT IF TWO CARS/TRUCKS MET THERE WHILE A BIKER WAS THERE, THERE COULD EASILY BE AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH! LET’S NOT WAIT UNTIL THAT HAPPENS!!
PLEASE PASS THE “STATELINE- STATELINE BIKEWAY” ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE LAKE!
