Project Introduction

The City of Reno and RTC intend to enhance the downtown roadway network in order to improve safety for all users and create a more welcoming environment for pedestrians, bicyclists, and other “micromodes” including electric bikes and scooters. The seven (7) roadways shown here are currently being considered for such micromode improvements.

This project represents a recent shift in American transportation planning and roadway design which focuses on the needs of the bicyclists and pedestrians who may like to ride or walk but are currently hesitant to do so due to uncomfortable facilities and perceived unsafe roadway conditions.

Local residents were encouraged to submit their comments, questions, and ranking of each corridor concept; results from public comments received are to be presented to the City Council in Fall 2023 and are available in the full report (click here for download).
