RTC hears alternatives analysis for Carmine Street drainage, plans limited ADA work with $503,000
Summary
The Carson City Regional Transportation Commission heard a presentation on alternatives to address storm drainage and final roadway configuration on Carmine Street between Lompa Lane and Airport Road. The city has $503,000 for limited Americans with Disabilities Act improvements, funded by a Community Development Block Grant and stormwater funds.
The Carson City Regional Transportation Commission heard a presentation on alternatives analysis for Carmine Street — including options for a complete storm drainage solution and the final roadway configuration for the segment between Lompa Lane and Airport Road.
Casey Sylvester, Transportation and Traffic Engineer, said the corridor under review lies east of Interstate 580, north of U.S. 50 and runs parallel to U.S. 50. "The city has funds for limited ADA improvements on this section of road of $503,000," Sylvester said, adding that the total includes a Community Development Block Grant and stormwater funding.
Sylvester told the commission the section of Carmine Street was identified for rehabilitation in 2022 but "was unable to be completed at that time due to a number of factors there." The presentation framed the current work as an alternatives analysis to find a complete drainage solution across the analyzed corridor and to determine the final roadway configuration.
During opening public comment, Carson City resident Mark Costa raised questions about how project choices are prioritized across districts. Costa asked whether Curry Street is classified as a federal street and whether projects on streets such as Curry or Carmine reconcile with the city's approach of working in a different district each year. "I was just wondering how those projects reconcile with the strategy of operating or working on a particular district every 5 years," Costa said.
No formal commission action on the Carmine Street alternatives analysis was recorded in the meeting minutes excerpt. The agenda item was presented to the commission for consideration and discussion.
