At the June 10, 2025, meeting, the Truckee Town Council will review a proposal to allocate funding from Senate Bill (SB) 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, toward two critical infrastructure projects: the 2025 Paving and Drainage Project and the Reimagine Bridge Street Project.
SB 1, signed into law in April 2017, was enacted to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and essential safety improvements across California’s state and local transportation systems. The legislation generates revenue through increases in fuel excise taxes, diesel fuel sales taxes, and vehicle registration fees.
The 2025 Paving and Drainage Project proposes to pave approximately 10 miles of roadway within the Town of Truckee. This work aligns with the Town’s adopted Pavement Maintenance Program and reflects an ongoing commitment to maintaining local road quality.
The Reimagine Bridge Street Project is designed to enhance safety and operational efficiency in Downtown Truckee. The project will replace two existing four-way, unsignalized intersections located on either side of the Bridge Street at-grade railroad crossing with coordinated traffic signals. Additional improvements include the installation of new pedestrian and bicycle facilities, railroad safety upgrades, an ADA-compliant sidewalk, enhanced lighting, and underground utility infrastructure. These enhancements aim to improve pedestrian and bicycle mobility and safety, as well as to optimize vehicle operations and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
SB 1 funds are proposed to be used for pre-construction activities for the Reimagine Bridge Street Project in fiscal year 2025–2026.
The staff report will be available on the Town of Truckee website the Friday before the June 10 Truckee Town Council meeting or by visiting www.townoftruckee.gov/councilagenda. For questions or comments, please contact Danielle McHugh at dmchugh@townoftruckee.gov.
