Project Background

The Town of Truckee embarked on a process to study new housing, economic development strategies, and sustainable mobility opportunities within the Gateway Area. This builds from the Envision DPR work and provided an opportunity for the community to discuss the look, feel, character, and types of uses that are most desired and appropriate for the Gateway Area. The goal was to:

• Consider higher density and more affordable housing and mixed-use opportunities near job centers, transit, schools, and community services.
• Inspire economic development and reinvestment through incentives, economic tools, and compelling design concepts.
• Improve multi-modal transportation to reduce traffic and improve safe and convenient mobility for all users (building from the Envision DPR project).
• Enhance the quality of life for existing and future residents, workers, and visitors!

About the Gateway Area

Donner Pass Road has a rich history as a major gateway and the primary east-west road through Truckee. The "Gateway Area" covers a 2-mile stretch along Donner Pass Road from Coldstream Road to the McIver Crossing Roundabout. This project will study: potential changes to uses, building types and styles; the addition of new plazas; opportunities for more open space; streetscape improvements; and other mobility improvements within the area.
