Alternative 2 proposal for re – development of the West River Street property
.
By Michelle Portesi
As most everyone knows, the Town of Truckee during recent years has been working diligently to upgrade infrastructure and develop public use projects. We’ve written here quite a bit about these projects, including:
The Mini Mouse Hole on Highway 89 (mostly completed) yourfriendinhighplaces.net/2016/09/15/truckees-mini-mousehole/
The Legacy Trail – yourfriendinhighplaces.net/2014/09/25/legacy-trail-connects-downtown-truckee-and-glenshire/
And Brickelltown’s Makeover – yourfriendinhighplaces.net/2016/07/08/truckees-brickelltown-is-getting-a-makeover/
Last summer, a lot was accomplished in Brickelltown, with additional parking spaces, road improvements, walkways and gathering spots added. Now The Town of Truckee is revisiting a re-development project on West River Street that had been put on the back burner when the economy hit the skids several years ago.

The area in question is a vacant lot along the Truckee River. Present proposals include a public plaza with river access and possible restaurant building. This would certainly be a much desired addition to Downtown Truckee, creating a much more centralized gathering place for the community adjacent to retail and dining. You can read more about the proposals in the Sierra Sun.
To participate or just stay informed, you can also keep up on any scheduled community workshops on this project on this Town of Truckee’s page and any progress on the project on this page. www.townoftruckee.com/government/town-manager/economic-development/west-river-site-project
