• AT&T will be before a South Lake Tahoe zoning administrator Sept. 1 at 2pm in City Council chambers asking to install more wireless communications equipment on a roof at 2633 Sussex Ave., South Lake Tahoe. This is a public hearing.
• Karen Rogers of Tahoe City has postponed her Farallon Island to San Francisco swim to next year. Bad weather and returning sharks forced the change.

• The August issue of Backpacker magazine has an article about the Tahoe Rim Trail.
I hope ATT is allowed to install a wireless tower at Sussex or somewhere close by so that Sierra Tract can get better service coverage.
I hope this gets approved, and it improves coverage. I’m with AT&T, and have had more dropped calls, and decreased connectivity lately.
I’m happy Steve Leman’s project was approved. He always produces attractive, well thought-out buildings that are beneficial to the city. He’s one of the good guys.
