Study Process

We Are Here

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.

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

Example Deficiencies andPotential 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

Example Deficiencies andPotential 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

Example Deficiencies andPotential Solutions

Issue:36. Difficulty backing in/out of residential

driveways that front Keystone

Opportunities:• Incorporate buffer space in proposed Keystone

roadway section if possible

Keystone Avenue BridgeOver 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

Next Steps
