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:
blq_01
1. At page 4.14-20, the statement about Hirschdale Bridges should be updated to reflect 1615-02.
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 615-q3
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 g�C - Oq
could be reduced by implementing the trail plan for Glenshire. L
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
