Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions
on Proposed Highway Realignment in
California and Nevada
Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Revised notice of limitation on
claims for judicial review of actions by
FHWA.
AGENCY:
The Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) is issuing this
notice to announce actions taken by
FHWA that are final. This notice
announces to the public that FHWA, as
the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) lead agency, circulated a Final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
and Section 4(f) De Minimis
Determination (October 19, 2018) for the
US 50/South Shore Community
Revitalization Project (project) and
issued a Record of Decision (ROD)
(August 2, 2019). The actions relate to
a proposed highway realignment project
on US Highway 50 (US 50) in the City
of South Lake Tahoe, California and
Stateline, Nevada. The action taken by
FHWA includes approval of the project.
This notice supersedes a notice
published on August 23, 2019, which
inadvertently failed to include a date
certain in the following paragraph. The
date below applies to the actions taken
by FHWA with regard to the project.
DATES: By this notice, the FHWA, is
advising the public of final agency
actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A
claim seeking judicial review of the
Federal agency actions on the highway
project will be barred unless the claim
is filed on or before January 31, 2020.
If the Federal law that authorizes
judicial review of a claim provides a
time period of less than 150 days for
filing such claim, then that shorter time
period still applies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final
Environmental Impact Report (EIR)/EIS/
EIS is a joint document prepared by the
Tahoe Transportation District (TTD),
Tahoe Regional Planning Agency
(TRPA), and FHWA and is subject to
state and federal environmental review
requirements. FHWA, TTD, and TRPA
jointly prepared the Final EIR/EIS/EIS
pursuant to the requirements of NEPA,
the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA), and the Tahoe Regional
Planning Compact (Pub. L. 96–551) and
1980 revision (Compact), Code of
Ordinances, and Rules of Procedure.
TTD is the lead agency under CEQA.
FHWA is the lead agency under NEPA.
TRPA is the lead agency for the TRPA
EIS pursuant to their Rules of
Procedure.
The project would realign US 50 in
the Stateline casino corridor area
(postmile 79.00 to postmile 80.44) and
convert the existing US 50 roadway,
between a location southwest of Pioneer
Trail in the City of South Lake Tahoe,
California and Lake Parkway in
Stateline, Nevada, into a two-lane local
street (one travel lane in each direction).
Realigned US 50 would be four lanes
(two travel lanes in each direction) with
left-turn pockets at intersections; it
would begin at a relocated Pioneer Trail
intersection to the west of the existing
intersection, and proceed south along
existing Moss and Echo Roads. The
realigned highway would then turn east
onto the Montreal Road alignment,
passing behind (southeast of) the
Heavenly Village Center shopping
complex, and continuing along the
existing Montreal Road and Lake
Parkway alignments. The proposed
action includes a new, two-lane
roundabout at the intersection of US 50
and Lake Parkway in Stateline, Nevada.
The affected segment of existing US 50
is approximately 1.1 miles long.
The existing right-of-way of the
segment of US 50 between Pioneer Trail
and Lake Parkway—the new ‘‘Main
Street’’—would be relinquished to the
City of South Lake Tahoe in California,
and Douglas County in Nevada.
Realigned US 50 would become

(Caltrans) and Nevada Department of
Transportation (NDOT) right-of-way.
Between Park Avenue and Lake
Parkway, the new ‘‘Main Street’’ would
be reduced to one travel lane in each
direction, with landscaped medians,
and turn pockets at major intersections
and driveways. Expanded sidewalks, a
Class IV bicycle route (i.e., cycle track),
and a transit circulator are proposed to
be implemented in this section within
the tourist core to improve pedestrian
safety and encourage use of alternative
transportation modes. A pedestrian
bridge would be constructed over
realigned US 50 approximately 250 feet
south of the proposed new intersection
at the Harrah’s entrance driveway near
the California/Nevada state line
connecting Van Sickle Bi-State Park to
the Stateline area.
The proposed action would result in
displacing residents and would
construct replacement housing for those
residents before removing existing
housing and constructing the roadway
improvements in California so that
residents displaced by the project may
be relocated to the newly constructed
housing if they so choose during the
relocation process.
The actions taken by the Federal
agencies, and the laws under which
such actions were taken, are described
in the Final EIR/EIS/EIS for the project,
approved on November 9, 2018 by the
TTD Board and on November 15, 2018
by the TRPA Governing Board of
Directors, and in the FHWA Record of
Decision (ROD), issued on August 2,
2019, and in other documents in the
FHWA project records. The Final EIR/
