Vulnerable User Pedestrian Safety Improvement Project

Latest Concept Design for Vulnerable User Pedestrian Safety Improvement Project- 9/2024

30% Concept Design for Vulnerable User Pedestrian Safety Improvement Project- 02/2024

The Vulnerable User Pedestrian Safety Improvement Project will improve pedestrian and bicycle safety near Carson Middle School and Bordewich Bray Elementary School in west Carson City to promote safe and accessible transportation options for students, staff, and community members. The project was identified through Carson City’s Safe Routes to School Master Plan. The Project area includes the following streets:

• 5^th Street - between Thompson Street and Richmond Avenue,
• Musser Street - between Mountain Street and Richmond Avenue, and
• Telegraph Street - between Mountain Street and Richmond Avenue.

The project includes the construction of new sidewalks to close existing sidewalk gaps and the reconstruction of existing sidewalks and ADA compliant curb ramps and driveways. Along with vulnerable user safety improvements, roadway improvements will include a slurry seal to preserve the existing condition of the pavement along these local streets. Carson City Public Works (CCPW) staff will be reaching out to nearby property owners to discuss project improvements along their specific properties.

CCPW estimates a construction start date of late 2024 or early 2025 with completion date of mid-summer 2025. CCPW will require a future contractor to notify residents prior to construction near any residential or business driveways.

 District 3 East Fifth Reconstruction Project

Update September 18, 2024:

Construction on 5th Street has been completed.

This project was directed by the RTC board on May 10, 2023, to revise the project scope as the following. E. 5th Street between Carson River Road and Marsh Road will have pavement reconstruction, pavement rehabilitation, a new right-turn lane (intersection of Carson River Road and 5th Street), waterline enhancements, ADA curb ramp improvements, curb, gutter and sidewalk reconstruction, multi-use path enhancement, drainage, landscaping, and utility cover adjustments. Improvements to the roundabout at 5th Street and Fairview Drive have been postponed until additional funding can be secured.

The project is a transportation infrastructure projects for Pavement Performance District 3. It was identified as being a Major Rehabilitation/Reconstruction Project due to the deteriorating pavement condition and includes a combination of rehabilitation and pavement preservation treatments. Improvements along E. 5th Street will improve pedestrian safety for children and families walking to and from Eagle Valley Middle School as identified in the 2020 Safe Routes to School Master Plan. Lastly, the Water Utility Division has identified the need to replace the waterline along E. 5th Street. This replacement will be included as a component of the project.

District 5, Winnie Lane Reconstruction Project

Update September 18, 2024:

Construction on Winnie Lane has been completed.

Winnie Lane Reconstruction Project Documents

Carson City Public Works (CCPW), and the Transportation Division, are planning to reconstruct Winnie Lane between North Carson Street and Mountain Street. Located in Performance District 5, the project includes the full depth removal and replacement of the asphalt pavement along with required compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to replace failing concrete sidewalk, and non-ADA compliant curb ramps and driveways.

Winnie Lane has a pavement condition index (PCI) of ‘Very Poor’ to ‘Serious’ as measured by recent pavement surveys. Design was recently completed in October 2023. The project cost is $1,420,000.

In March 2024, the RTC awarded the project to Sierra Nevada Construction. They contractor has set a tentative construction start date of June 3, 2024. Construction is anticipated to continue through August. During construction, residents in the area should expect minor delays and periodic lane and road closures. Parking along Winnie Lane will also be restricted. It is the City’s goal to keep full road closures to a minimum, but there may be short periods of time that full closures may take place. Access to driveways may also be affected at times during construction. Stay tuned for more construction updates!
