The Nevada Division of State Lands and the Nevada Tahoe Conservation District are set to kick off the Kahle Complete Street Project, a major infrastructure initiative along Kahle Drive in Stateline, Nevada, on Tuesday, June 24.
Project officials will present the project’s timeline, benefits, and key partner agencies to members of the media during an event.
The project will overhaul a deteriorating half-mile segment of Kahle Drive, converting it into a modern, multi-modal corridor.
Planned improvements include new sidewalks, bike lanes, crosswalks, underground utilities, and enhanced stormwater drainage systems.
These features are intended to improve public safety and reduce urban runoff that affects Lake Tahoe.
Kahle Drive connects the Stateline-to-Stateline bike trail, Rabe Meadow, and the Douglas County community center.
Officials say the current condition of the road poses safety hazards and contributes to declining water quality and damage to nearby public lands.
The Environmental Improvement Program project is primarily funded by the Nevada Division of State Lands, with additional support from Douglas County, the U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, NV Energy, Barton Health, Oliver Park General Improvement District, and the Tahoe Fund.
The project reflects a regional effort to upgrade essential infrastructure while protecting the natural environment surrounding Lake Tahoe.
