Reno Planning Downtown Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvements
Plans are underway to implement improvements for pedestrian and bicycle travel in downtown Reno.
Reno, NV, September 17, 2026 —
Plans are currently being developed for enhancements aimed at improving pedestrian and bicycle travel throughout downtown Reno. The initiative seeks to create a more accessible and safer environment for non-vehicular transit options in the city’s core.

Further information regarding the specific projects, potential funding sources, and community engagement opportunities is expected to be released as the planning stages progress.

The estimated budget or any potential impact on local traffic patterns during construction are also details that have not yet been disclosed.
