As part of any Squaw Valley Village project, if approved, Squaw Valley Real Estate (SVRE) would have a Parks and Recreation obligation. They have begun to discuss what projects they would undertake to satisfy that obligation. This survey is meant to get community input on that discussion.
Chevis Hosea (SVRE) forwarded this list of possible projects to Friends of Squaw Valley. According to Chevis, SVRE would complete projects in the priority desired by the County and the public as development progresses.
1. Linear Park & Trail Expansion = Complete the hike/bike trail from Hwy 89 to Shirley Lake Trailhead with overlooks and informational signs
2. Shirley Lake & Granite Chief Trailhead improvements including signage, parking, bike storage, restroom facilities
3. Trail connecting Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley by connecting Western States and 5-Lakes Trails
4. Valley-wide ongoing trails maintenance program
5. Improvements to Squaw Valley Community Park with 2 all purpose courts and flush toilets
6. Squaw Valley Seasonal Playspace – Open to Public – with 3-Dimensional play structures for tots to kinder age (relocatable/removeable during ski season)
In some quick brainstorming of other ideas, the following were thrown out as additional possibilities. Chevis has said that he is open to alternatives beyond his 9 item list.
7. Maintained mountain bike trail between Squaw and Alpine
