Lakeview Commons looks better without orange fences

South Lake Tahoe City Councilman-elect Tom Davis and Lake Tahoe News Publisher Kathryn Reed were having a casual conversation last week about the orange fencing around trees at Lakeview Commons — and why it’s there when a chain link fence keeps people out of the dormant construction zone.

Shortly thereafter Davis spoke to City Manager Tony O’Rourke and City Attorney Patrick Enright about the unsightly orange fencing.

The orange is gone.

Though this is just a small gesture, it’s one that was acted upon quickly, decisively and makes one of the central areas of South Lake Tahoe look much better.

Lake Tahoe News says thank you to everyone involved and hopes many more beneficial acts — small and large — are in store for the South Shore in the immediate future.
