Town of Truckee, Reimagine Bridge Street Public Workshop Town of Truckee
Event Description: 

Come voice your opinion! The Town of Truckee is exploring intersection improvements for Bridge Street at Donner Pass Road and East/West River Streets. 

 Reimagine Bridge Street project goals are to improve pedestrian safety and circulation at Donner Pass Road and East/West River Streets, designate a quiet zone at the train crossing, and maintain or improve traffic flow with and without a train present. 

The Town has reviewed eighteen alternatives and selected the best four alternatives to present to the public.  The four intersection options included:

  1. Minor Improvements-connecting sidewalks on all corners, adding a sidewalk on the east side of Bridge Street, and a median island across the tracks between the north and southbound lanes.  Existing stop sign configurations at both intersections would stay the same.
  2. Roundabouts-Single lane roundabouts at both intersection. This includes pre-emption signals on all approaches.
  3. Traffic Signals-Traffic signals at both intersections would be coordinated with the railroad gates to allow traffic to continue to flow regardless of train activity.
  4. Roadway Reconfiguration-This option proposes to close Bridge Street to vehicles but would keep the railroad crossing open to bikes and pedestrians. The improvements would also include a new roundabout at McIver Undercrossing at the West River Street intersection.

Description:  Town of Truckee staff and the consultant team will start the Public Workshop with a short presentation of the four options including video simulations and renderings. Staff will be available to answer questions and take comments after the presentation. Staff will be making a recommendation to Council for the best option to pursue at the next Council meeting
