District plans design now for Bells Landing retaining wall ahead of 2026 construction
Summary
Staff recommended design work in 2025 and construction in 2026 for a deteriorating retaining wall and access improvements at Bells Landing on the Truckee River Trail, citing erosion, equipment damage and safety risks; potential cost‑sharing with a concessionaire was noted.
Staff described significant erosion and chipping on the Truckee River Trail retaining wall at Bells Landing and recommended including design in the 2025 program with construction targeted for 2026. Staff observed the wall's upper portion is nearing the end of its service life and that narrow trail alignment has permitted snow‑removal equipment to clip the wall, accelerating deterioration.
The committee discussed safety enhancements, parking circulation and possible cost‑sharing with the local concessionaire; staff said further evaluation and design would inform any budget request for 2026 construction. "That area there in particular, the retaining wall, there's significant, erosion," staff said, explaining the recommended planning and design approach.
