The Truckee River is an integral part of the community, an ecological gem that also provides a prime spot for recreation and fun. That is why Truckee Town Council established the River Revitalization Steering Committee (R2SC) in May of 2023, as a specific action of the General Plan 2040 adopted last year that same month.
The committee has met eight times and made a great deal of progress. The group of 18 community members have developed key themes to guide the committee’s focus. These three prevailing categories are:
Restore: River Health & Access
Revive: Community Economic Vitality
Reimagine: The Vibe & Character
The R2SC now wants to check in with the community, hear feedback and understand if they are in alignment with community expectations and priorities that will lead into developing the action plan. If you can't make this Coffee Chat, there are four more community engagement opportunities planned in the coming weeks between mid-April and early May, including one in Spanish:
Thursday, April 18 – Taco Talk at the Lift Workspace from 4:30-6:30 p.m.
Monday, April 22– Coffee Talk at Cornerstone Bakery from 9-11 a.m.
Saturday, April 27 –In person open house at the Northern Trailhead at East River Street from 11 - 1 p.m.
Thursday, May 2 – Taco Talk at Donner Creek Mobile Home Park (for Spanish speakers) from 5:30-7 p.m.
