Located along the north shore of Lake Tahoe in Placer County, California, the Kings Beach Commercial Core Improvement Project consists of a major public infrastructure effort to revitalize the lake shore community of Kings Beach with intermodal and roadway safety enhancements coupled with “complete street” infrastructure and streetscape improvements. The project will help trigger private redevelopment projects and provide multi-modal benefits that will increase and enhance transportation options within the community and to other communities resulting in enhanced public transit connectivity for the North Lake Tahoe region. Just as importantly, the project targets disadvantaged groups and promotes Ladders of Opportunities for them by providing improved and more affordable transportation options to education centers, health clinic services, family resource center services, employment guidance services, and job locations.
