connectivity to businesses, residents, and
existing facilities
 Ensure vehicular progression and Level of Service
to balance improvements for all modes
 Foster meaningful community participation for
the entire corridor
Riverside Dr.
California Ave.
Study Goals

progress over time
 Highlight aesthetics and improve the user’s
experience throughout the corridor
Keystone at I-80
Reno High School
Example Deficiencies and
Potential Solutions
Issue:
2. Poor pedestrian routing and circulation
Opportunities:
• Add signing to avoid south sidewalk dead end
• Consider ramping at Foster overpass versus
existing stairs
• Include full pedestrian facilities with any new
intersection design
Example Deficiencies and
Potential Solutions
Issue:
25. Crash rate is higher (3.05) than statewide
averages (2.41)
Opportunities:
• Propose safety improvements such as refined
signal timing, signal coordination, and
eliminating permitted left turn movements
• Review and implement NDOT Roadside Safety
Audit recommendations
Example Deficiencies and
Potential Solutions
Issue:
36. Difficulty backing in/out of residential
driveways that front Keystone
Opportunities:
• Incorporate buffer space in proposed Keystone
roadway section if possible

or bicycle facilities
 The California / Keystone
intersection and the Truckee
River Flood Project are key
considerations
