In April, the Governor signed Senate Bill (SB) 1, which is also known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. To address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation and critical safety needs on both the state and local road systems, SB 1 increases fuel excise taxes, diesel fuel sales taxes, and vehicle registration fees.
At the June 11, 2024 meeting, the Town of Truckee Town Council will review a proposal to use funds generated by SB 1 for both the Railyard Mobility Hub Project and the West River Street Streetscape Improvement Project.
The Railyard Mobility Hub Project includes a parking lot with infrastructure for electric vehicle charging stations.
The West River Street Streetscape Improvement Project includes design and construction of streetscape improvements (paving, curb, gutter, sidewalk, landscaping, utility undergrounding, and parking improvements) on West River Street from Bridge Street to Mill Street/Riverside Drive intersection. The SB1 funds are potentially proposed to be used for construction for both projects. The staff report may be found on the Town of Truckee website at this link the Friday before the Town Council meeting.
