Staff Summary: City staff and engineering consultants have evaluated modifications to the design for Phase II of the Roop Street widening project that would allow for bicycle accommodations along the entire length of the project. Staff and consultants will provide information regarding changes to the design, right-of-way acquisition, and overall project costs.

The monthly Carson City Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) meeting will be Wednesday, November 4, in the Sierra Room of the Carson City Community Center. This is one week earlier than normal due to the Veteran’s Day holiday on November 11. The CAMPO meeting starts at 5:30 and is followed by the RTC meeting, so it is difficult to determine exactly what time agenda items will come up, but you should be there by 5:45 if you want to make sure you hear agenda item F-1 on the Roop St widening project. Public comment is always welcome on agenda items.
The wonderful turn-out of Muscle Powered members and other community people at the last RTC meeting was a great show of interest that we all feel caused the RTC members to consider changes to the project more than they ever had before. At this meeting staff will present an alternative that provides and maintains bicycle access on Roop St for the length of this project. This is an information item, not a decision. In December the RTC will probably decide whether to proceed with the project in the near future or to defer it due to lower gas tax and sales tax income.
