Dianne Feinstein West Shore Tahoe Trail Reconstruction Project- Segment 1 – 2025-2026 – Pending Approval

• This segment of the TCPUD multi-use trail received $1,500,000 in funding in the 2025-26 Annual Grant Cycle as part of a three-year project.
• This trail segment, from the Tahoe City Transit Center to Sunnyside Restaurant & Lodge, is heavily used for recreation and non-motorized transportation.
• This project rebuilds 1.4 miles of the existing trail to replace aging, failing infrastructure and create a safer, more enjoyable experience for everyone.
• The project fixes key issues with slope, alignment, drainage, visibility, safety, and code compliance.

West Shore Reconstruction project – 2024-2025

• Reconstruct approximately 2.35 miles of the West Shore Trail between Sunnyside Resort and Idlewild Way to replace aged and failing infrastructure, improve mobility and safety, and enrich user experience. 
• Reconstruction will address pavement failure, slope and alignment issues, visibility (both vehicular and pedestrian), safety and ADA code compliance, and drainage.
• The Project will benefit multiple users year-round, including various age groups and ability levels, different modes of travel, and universal accessibility. 
• The West Shore Trail offers an alternative means of transportation and serves as an outdoor recreational outlet where users can enjoy the natural beauty and environment of Lake Tahoe.

North Shore Trail – 2023-2024

The TCPUD completed the reconstruction of the North Shore Trail in November 2024. This segment, originally constructed between 20-40 years ago, includes approximately 2.2 miles of trail from the eastern side of Tahoe City along State Route 28 to the Dollar Point community. Improvements included realigning a portion of the trail for safety, corrected pavement cracking and root intrusion, and improved visibility, ADA compliance, and trail transitions. The reconstruction included planned and advertised detours during construction, and the trail system was signed, alerting users to areas where detours occurred.
