Environmental Impact Report for the Truckee Trails & Bikeways Master Plan

Alta completed trail development guidelines and a program EIR for a trail system that encompasses in excess of 100 miles of trails in the Truckee (CA) area. Alta assisted Town staff with classifying the trail system into trail categories, including class I, II, and III bikeways, and earthen recreation trails. A set of design guidelines was then developed for varying typical conditions found on each trail type. Specific issues the study addressed included design standards for wetlands, marshes, and rivers; endangered species; historic resources; roadway conditions; street, railroad and river crossings; and steep grades.
