ReTRAC Master Plan
For those of you living on the moon or recently new to town, Reno successfully completed a massive project to lower railroad tracks that once cut right through the heart of Reno like an annoying knife. Even ambulances used to have to wait in downtown Reno or find alternate routes if a train was slowly crawling through the downtown area.
All of that is in the past with the ReTRAC Project, which lowered the train tracks under Lake, Center, Virginia, Arlington, Sierra, and even Keystone Ave. After the project was completed, the City of Reno acquired over 100 acres of land as a result of the train trench, and now the City wants a Master Plan to put into place, so they have a guide on how to best use and develop not only the land they acquired, but overall improve the entertainment and ReTRAC cores.
The community, stakeholders, designers, decision-makers and City Staff are all participating in the Master Plan project. The result will be a Master Plan document that will provide detailed recommendations and a set of priorities for action.
You can find a full schedule and all documentation at the City of Reno's web site for the ReTRAC Master Plan by clicking here.
However, the Master Plan Concepts and Draft pdf is 172 pages, quite a novel to read, so I put up an HTML version which gives all the highlights from the latest stakeholder's meeting.
