Description
A community meeting will be held Wednesday, September 4 to unveil a draft of the vision plan for the Kahle Drive and Lower Kingsbury areas along the US 50 corridor between Lake Parkway and Elks Point Road.
The meeting will be held from 5:00 to 6:00 pm at the Tahoe Transportation Center, 169 US Highway 50, across from the Lakeside Inn and Casino.
The core of the vision plan is the Kahle Drive complete streets project which includes a complete reconstruction of the road, a sidewalk and pedestrian amenities, landscaping, undergrounding of utilities, enhanced access to recreation and open space, water quality improvements, and an improved neighborhood experience.
Other key elements of the vision:
• Intersection improvements at Kahle Drive at US 50 that create a gateway feature and incorporate a safer highway crossing for pedestrians and bicyclists.
• An expanded network of trails and sidewalks connecting Lower Kingsbury, Kahle Community Park, Kahle Drive, and the Lakeview Trail to Nevada Beach and Round Hill Pines Resort.
• A Class I multi-use trail connecting Lake Parkway with Elks Point Road parallel to US 50, along with a sidewalk connection from Lake Parkway to Kahle Drive and a Class II bike lane from Kahle Drive to Elks Point Road.
• Transformation of the business district into a lively mixed-use environment with retail and office as well as lodging, gaming, and entertainment, with improved access to indoor and outdoor entertainment.
• Additional environmental improvements throughout the area, including water quality and drainage improvements, aesthetic enhancements, and wayfinding signage
A key purpose of the vision is to help secure funds for the implementation of identified projects. The Nevada Tahoe Conservation District and the South Shore Transportation
Management Association collaborated with Design Workshop of Stateline to produce the Expanded Kahle Vision Plan. Read the full Kahle Vision Plan: https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/track?uri=urn%3Aaaid%3Ascds%3AUS%3A3257d12b-47a5-4b9e-8896-bdda07dfb208
