Overview

Basics

Basics
Fallen Leaf Road is ~5 miles in length from SR 89 to the south end of Fallen Leaf Lake at Stanford Sierra Camp. The proposed project will complete roadway improvements in three phases: 1) SR89 to the Campground (0.6 miles); the Campground to Tahoe Mtn (1.8 miles), and Tahoe Mtn to Stanford Sierra Camp (2.9 miles). Proposed improvements will include improving the pavement condition, eliminating substandard roadway geometry, and install drainage improvements to extend the service life of the roadway. Widening of the roadway from SR 89 to the campground will be evaluated along with paving the existing roadway pullouts from the campground to Tahoe Mountain to improve the safety for all users

Threshold Categories

  • The project will serve local residents and recreational visitors to the Fallen Leaf Lake area and utility providers (sewer and power), while also providing the USFS access to conduct forestry operations and fire protection. Fallen Leaf Road is a multiuse road that is impacted by 1) poor geometric design and 2) rapidly deteriorating road surface quality due to extreme weather conditions which has created a hazardous road surface for driving and bicycle riding. The road is a narrow one lane road with unimproved pullouts and parking areas in a mountainous area.
  • The road surface is deteriorating due to harsh winter conditions and seasonal freeze/thaw. This results in pavement defects such as cracking, rutting and depressions that create hazards to users of the roadway. Poor drainage causes the roadway to flood. Unpaved pullouts produce seasonal rutting and tracking of material onto the roadway. Improvements will address water quality through better conveyance systems, improved road surface, and improved pullouts.
