It took many years of planning, and sometimes it seemed almost as long to construct, but Truckee’s Mini Mousehole is now open and available for pedestrian and bike traffic.
What is the Mini Mousehole? If you are driving north from Tahoe City on Highway 89, just before reaching Truckee, the road passes through a tunnel underneath the railroad that has become known as the mousehole because it is so narrow. It was quite dangerous for bikers and walkers, and it wasn’t too fun for drivers either, who had to hope they didn’t accidentally clip a pedestrian in the tunnel. The solution: The Mini Mousehole.
The Mini Mousehole sits just east of the regular mousehole. It is accessed via a sidewalk/bike path that goes from West River Street to the intersection with Deerfield Drive, where Save Mart, CVS, McDonalds and a host of other businesses are located. This route truly is a potential lifesaver for the large community who live at the Donner Creek Mobile Home Park at the intersection of West River Street and Highway 89. For bike riders, it’s part of two recent improvements to the biking scene in Truckee:
The Mini Mousehole now makes it safer to ride along Highway 89 from Tahoe City to Donner Pass Road near the Safeway, and from there, catch the bike lane on Donner Pass Road to Donner Lake, Donner Summit and Cisco Grove if you are so inclined (or so crazy strong).
West River Street is currently being widened and repaved with the much needed addition of a bike lane. This will now allow a Glenshire rider to catch the Truckee River Legacy Trail to first East River and then West River Street. From there you can ride towards Highway 89 without the trepidation of the past, when West River was too narrow and busy for comfort.
Now that the crowds of summer are disappearing, it is a great time to get out on your bike and try out the new biking opportunities of Truckee. I know I will soon be grunting my way up Donner Pass to enjoy the view from the Rainbow Bridge.

Every four years people question what effect the Presidential election might have on the national housing market. Let’s take a look at what is currently taking place. The New York Times ran an article earlier this week where they explained:
“A growing body of research shows that during presidential election years — particularly ones like this when there is such uncertainty about the nation’s future — industry becomes almost paralyzed. A look at the last several dozen election cycles shows that during the final year of a presidential term, big corporate investments are routinely postponed, and big deals are put on the back burner.
The research is even more persuasive on the final year of an eight-year presidential term, when a new candidate inevitably will become president.”
We are seeing this take form in the latest economic numbers. However, will this lead to a slowdown in the housing market? Not according to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or the National Association of Realtors.
The Impact on Housing Throughout 2016
Let’s look at what has happened and what is projected to happen by these three major entities.
“In spite of deficient supply levels, stock market volatility and the paltry economic growth seen so far this year, the housing market did show resilience and had its best first quarter of existing-sales since 2007.”
“Recent data darkened the growth outlook for the first quarter of 2016. However, despite the disappointing economic reports, we still forecast housing to maintain its momentum in 2016.”
“Consumers and businesses showed caution at the end of the first quarter…(but) Home sales are expected to pick up heading into the spring season amid the backdrop of declining mortgage rates, rising pending home sales and purchase mortgage applications, and continued easing of lending standards on residential mortgage loans.”
Bottom Line
Even during this election year, the desire to achieve the American Dream is greater than the fear of uncertainty of the next presidency.
