Tahoe Valley Greenbelt stormwater project to add trails, boardwalks and treatment basins; city aims for Sept. 2026 opening
Summary
Staff presented Phase Two of the Tahoe Valley Greenbelt and Stormwater Improvement Project, which adds stormwater treatment basins, boardwalks through wetland zones and an all-weather loop trail to reduce sediment and help meet Tahoe TMDL thresholds; staff anticipates public opening after the 2026 construction season, no later than September 2026.
Ms. Riana Greenwall presented details of the Tahoe Valley Stormwater and Greenbelt Improvement Project Phase Two at the State of the City address, describing water-quality and recreation features.
Greenwall said the two-phase project—Phase Two is in Tahoe Valley behind The Crossing bounded by Emerald Bay Road, B Street, Highway 50, 4th, Bart Nav and Helen Avenue—includes paved and graded multi-use trails, elevated boardwalks to allow all-season access through wetlands, recreational play areas and stormwater treatment basins and conveyance features that trap sediment and reduce nutrient loads before water reaches Lake Tahoe.
She noted the project helps the city meet Tahoe total maximum daily load (TMDL) thresholds and improves neighborhood connections by linking Tahoe Valley to the South Y commercial area. Greenwall said the work completed to date includes visible stormwater infrastructure and paved sections, with additional trails to be paved in the following season; the project is anticipated to be finished and open to the public following the 2026 construction season, no later than September 2026.
The presentation thanked partner organizations including the CTC, the Tahoe Fund and the League to Save Lake Tahoe for contributions to the restoration work. Funding sources and final construction budgets were not specified during the presentation.
