4 Study Process We Are Here

5 Study Goals  Improve pedestrian, ADA, and bicycle safety and connectivity to businesses, residents, and existing facilities  Ensure vehicular progression and Level of Service to balance improvements for all modes  Foster meaningful community participation for the entire corridor Riverside Dr.California Ave.

6 Study Goals  Coordinate improvements with development, residential and business needs  Identify logical, buildable phases to maintain progress over time  Highlight aesthetics and improve the user’s experience throughout the corridor Keystone at I-80 Reno High School

7 Example Deficiencies and Potential Solutions Issue: 2. Poor pedestrian routing and circulation Opportunities: Add signing to avoid south sidewalk dead end Consider ramping at Foster overpass versus existing stairs Include full pedestrian facilities with any new intersection design

8 Example Deficiencies and Potential Solutions Issue: 25. Crash rate is higher (3.05) than statewide averages (2.41) Opportunities: Propose safety improvements such as refined signal timing, signal coordination, and eliminating permitted left turn movements Review and implement NDOT Roadside Safety Audit recommendations

9 Example Deficiencies and Potential Solutions Issue: 36. Difficulty backing in/out of residential driveways that front Keystone Opportunities: Incorporate buffer space in proposed Keystone roadway section if possible

10 Keystone Avenue Bridge Over the Truckee River  Originally built in 1966  The bridge is in poor shape  Sufficiency rating 28 / 100  “Structurally deficient”  Does not provide pedestrian or bicycle facilities  The California / Keystone intersection and the Truckee River Flood Project are key considerations

11 Next Steps  Complete Existing Conditions Analysis  Finalize Corridor Goals  Develop and Evaluate Alternatives  Bring Alternatives Forward for Input Keystone and Kings Row
