No one will be forced to do anything. One of the main goals of R2SC will be to identify opportunity sites and incentives where interested businesses could relocate -or- where beautification and other revitalization means could be incentivized at the existing facilities along the project area.

This has not been determined yet as the committee is in the early information gathering phase. The boundary of consideration includes property located on either side of West and East River Streets from Highway 89 on the west to the SR 267 bypass bridge on the east and is being referred to as the project area. R2SC will be prioritizing sub-areas within the main project area, but these priorities have yet to be determined.

Yes. The committee is in the early stages of creating an inventory of all parcels and business owners along the river.

R2SC stands for River Revitalization Steering Committee. The Town of Truckee has brought together a diverse group of community members to serve on R2SC. Committee members have a passion for the Truckee River and interact with the river corridor in different ways. Some of the committee members own property along the corridor. Others have businesses along the corridor or have connected their business to the Truckee River. Environmental and other interests are represented to not only protect the river but also celebrate, activate, and provide for public access to the river corridor. The goal of R2SC is to create a plan that offers pathways for revitalization and activation of this beloved aspect of our community.

There is a great deal of momentum focused on the downtown core, commercial row and river corridor areas. The Town, in partnership with private partners, will be investing over $40 million in improvements between commercial row and the river corridor. This investment includes the West River Street Streetscape project currently underway, the extension of the Legacy Trail on the south side of the river to SR 89 (including the new bridge that will span the river), and the West River Street Park. Construction of the West River Street Park and the Reimagine Bridge Street project will reconfigure the connection from commercial row to East and West River Streets. River revitalization is included in the Town Council's focus areas and Town Strategic Plan as part of the action items that resulted from adoption of the Truckee 2040 General Plan.

Generally, the group meets monthly on the first Tuesday of each month, 5 pm at Truckee Town Hall. All the committee's meetings are open to the public, and community members are encouraged to attend, share ideas, concerns, and expertise.

The make-up of the committee was approved by the Town Council and is intended to provide a cross section of stakeholders which includes community leaders, representatives from environmental organizations, land, and business owners. A complete list of the 16 committee members appointed can be found on the Town of Truckee R2SC landing page.
