This project brings a new, alternative transportation center and bus shelter to campus. The two structures involved both provide overhead charging for electric buses that the Tahoe Transportation District is bringing online. A new bus spur road was built to separate bus traffic from other vehicles near the front of LTCC’s Main Building. Walkways and bicycle paths in the area have been improved and extended, and new bike racks, skateboard and scooter storage, and a bike repair station were added. This project was made possible through a partnership with LTCC and TTD. In Phases 2 and 3, a new electrical feed will be brought in to power electric bus recharging, and to bring power to several electric vehicle parking spots in the nearby lot for recharging. This work is made possible by TTD and Liberty Utilities. Power by partnership!

After a year-long advocacy effort in Sacramento, LTCC successfully got the state to match approximately $10 million worth of Measure F funding to make this nearly $20 million project a reality. It will modernize and improve the oldest areas and classrooms on campus. Upgrades will be made to science, technology and art labs, job training

program space, the Disability Resource  Center, counseling and student service areas, and more. Air quality in art and science classrooms and laboratories will improve, accessibility and safety issues will be addressed, and the oldest classrooms on campus will be modernized to meet student needs. This project will result in a significantly improved student experience and will improve college staff and student health and safety. It will also result in a true One-Stop Office for students where all basic college business can be handled in one convenient space. Plans for this project are currently in development with work slated to begin in Summer 2021.

 

The California Tahoe Conservancy is leading the South Tahoe Greenway Shared-Use Trail project, a 3.86-mile bikeway connection between the Sierra Tract neighborhood and Van Sickle Bi-State Park. Phase 1B & 2 will extend the path from Glenwood Way to Sierra Blvd. crossing over LTCC property. LTCC has joined with several local agencies as funding partners for the completion of Phase 1B & 2. This project is just one example of many successful partnerships LTCC has entered into to further develop and enhance our community. This Shared-Use Trail project allows residents and visitors to enjoy a complete, beautiful, and safe trail that encourages non-motorized vehicle use and connectivity to public transportation via LTCC’s Mobility Hub.
