Subject: Comment on Canyon Springs RDEIR
Dear Denyelle,
I have reviewed the Recirculated Draft EIR for the proposed Canyon Springs project near Glenshire and have several
comments related to bicycle facilities and traffic impacts. By way of background, my organization is building a bike
trail from Lake Tahoe to Pyramid Lake, including connecting Truckee's Legacy Trail to a future trail along the Truckee
River east of Glenshire. We hope to keep connectivity for non-motorized travelers in mind during decisions by all
entities in two states, five counties and four cities along the Truckee River.
My comments are:
1. At page 4.14-20, the statement about Hirschdale Bridges should be updated to reflect Nevada County's recent
decision NOT to remove the bridges.
2. The project proposes no bike lanes, but a substantial safety enhancement for both new residents of the project
and the public could be achieved by implementing bike lanes on Glenshire Drive from the terminus of the new Legacy
Trail to Hirschdale Drive.
3. Traffic volume at school start and end times is cited as a concern in the traffic study, which could be reduced by
implementing the trail plan for Glenshire.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
