The Carson Area Metropolitan Planning Organization will consider its $71M, four-year Transportation Improvement Program during its Nov. 16 meeting.
The program will run from Fiscal Year 2027 to Fiscal Year 2030. It is made up of 19 projects across Carson City, Douglas County and Lyon County.
On a macro scale, the plan calls for $53.1M in federal funding, $17M in local funding and $866K in state funding. Fiscal year 2027 is scheduled to see $50.1M in spending.
Projects scheduled for 2027 include:
- U.S. Highway 50 — $22.2M pavement rehabilitation project;
- Ash Canyon Road Rehabilitation Project — $10M toward rehabilitating the road between Wellington West and the open space property;
- Curry Street Improvement Project — $5.6M to improve the street between Rhodes Street and Lake Glen Drive. Consists of circulation enhancements, business access, safety and drainage improvements;
- Goni Road Pavement Rehabilitation — $3.4M to rehabilitate the pavement between College Parkway and Arrowhead Drive. Also includes intersection improvements, sidewalk enhancements and traffic signals;
- Saliman Road Improvements — $879.3K to improve the road between Sonoma and William streets. Improvements will be made to crosswalks, lighting, accessibility and safety, and
- South Carson Street Pavement Preservation Project — $2M pavement preservation project between Appion Way and Fifth Street. Also seeks to improve the Stewart Street roundabout.
In 2028, the plan calls for an $8.6M improvement to Fifth Street and the Fairview Drive roundabout. Other small projects are also included in the plan.
The Improvement Program references several large-scale projects that will be worked on after the four-year planning period. The projects are scheduled to commence construction in 2031. These include:
- North Carson Street Complete Streets Project — $20.7M,
- U.S. Highway 50 Improvements Near Spooner Summit — $46.1M and
- U.S. Highway 395 Improvements — $55.3M.
If CAMPO approves the Transportation Improvement Program, it does not commit local municipalities to fund the projects. Individual jurisdictions and the Nevada Department of Transportation will later agree upon funding.
If approved, it will then go to NDOT, the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration for final approval. (Source: Carson Now)
