FROM THE LOCAL CYCLING ADVOCACY COMMUNITY
Caltrans has listened to your concerns, emails, and web based messages regarding the conditions of the shoulder/bike lanes on Highway 89 between Truckee and Squaw Valley. A public meeting has been scheduled. It is this coming Monday, July 15, at 6:30pm at the CalTrans Truckee North Maintenance Yard on Keiser Ave up above Old Town Truckee (next to the freeway, just off of Jiboom St.).
If you can, please come and express how important, and how well used, the bike lanes/shoulders on this section of 89 South are. That they are now essentially unuseable as well not safe. [Editor note: I consider 89 South excellent training for Copperopolis, Leesville, and Challenge Road Races. Roubaix style. By that I mean the tarmac is battered!] These lanes need to be repaired and repaved now. It is also be an opportunity to express that the lanes/shoulders on 267, on the north side of Brockway Summit, need repaving too. This roadway was repaved this summer, and the shoulders were not touched. Hwy 89 North out of Truckee, at minimum to AlderCreek Rd, needs wider shoulders/bike lanes. The cycling infrastructure up here at Truckee/Tahoe, on state roads, is poor and unsafe for cycling. A huge turn out will go a long ways here to getting Caltrans to hear our needs as cyclists. With Caltrans, this is a big opportunity that hardly ever comes along.
