The Homewood Bike Trail is a 0.9-mile paved trail along SR 89 that provides the once-missing link within a 9+ mile path leading users between Squaw Valley, Tahoe City, and now the beautiful west shore of Lake Tahoe. Bike path travelers can now safely explore the beaches, access hiking/biking trails and campgrounds, and journey as far as the Meeks Bay Campground. AEC provided topographic and design surveys for this TRPA Environmental Improvement Project (EIP), as well as regulatory permitting for the trail with TRPA. The topographic survey involved coordination with Placer County and Caltrans in connection with the Homewood/SR 89 erosion control project.

The KBCCIP involves the redevelopment of the urban core of Kings Beach with curb and gutter, sidewalks, street furniture and stormwater quality improvements. In the conversion of the highway to three lanes, street parking must be moved from the side of the highway to separated parking lots. AEC planned, designed and permitted four separate public parking lots, approximately 20-30 spaces each. This task includes CEQA processing for three of the lots.

AEC provided surveying services for the Highway 267 Northstar Right Turn Lane for Northstar-at-Tahoe constructed in the Fall 2000. The project required the surveying, permitting, and civil design of a right turn lane from State Highway 267 onto Northstar Drive. AEC provided coordination with Placer County and Caltrans in the preparation of plans for work within both agencies' right-of-way. AEC staff completed project surveys, a legal description and plat for an offer of dedication to Caltrans, civil design and final as-built plans.

Mr. Auerbach was Project Manager for civil design and infrastructure development for this destination resort development. AEC served as the team civil engineer and land surveyor for this 6-acre multi-family mixed use project. AEC prepared the project base maps, conducted utility surveys for relocation documents, prepared drainage analysis and reports in accordance with Placer County requirements, prepared final maps and condominium plans, and prepared construction documentation for roadways, drainage systems, and utility extensions/reinforcements. This was a complex multi-phase, multi-year development, coordinated with numerous regulatory agencies and utility providers. AEC was the engineer of record for the entire project from preliminary planning and tentative maps, through to construction and project closeout.

Pickleball courts in the Squaw Valley Park used to consist of two courts established by local residents utilizing an overflow parking area. The past five years have seen an explosion in the popularity of the sport. AEC was retained by Placer County Parks Division to design new pickleball courts for an expanded facility. An analysis matrix was completed that ranked various features of three alternative sites and configurations. AEC designed three new courts that were constructed in 2016 at Squaw Valley Park.

Provided design for the Highway 267 Martis Creek crossing modification and diversion structure in order to restore hydrologic and sediment transport continuity and wet meadow conditions on the Middle Martis Creek alluvial fan. Goals of the project include eliminating flooding of Highway 267 and other existing infrastructure while maintaining sufficient flow to sustain existing wetland and riparian habitat on the south side of highway 267. Additional tasks included redesign of 3,500 LF of Waddle Ranch Access Road.
