No scarcity in visitors to Lakeview Commons

With no fanfare, Lakeview Commons at El Dorado Beach is open. And based on the number of people frolicking along the expansive walkway and terraced seating during the holiday weekend, its popularity has not diminished. With the major face lift, it is likely to be even more popular than year’s past.

Gone are the fences, construction crews and machines needed to complete the multimillion dollar project in South Lake Tahoe.

The City Council will tour the area as part of the afternoon session of the Jan. 3 meeting.

Work continues on the boathouse, though that should be open in the summer. A fence does separate the beach and water, but that, too, will be gone by the time people want to venture into the lake.

    What a waste of taxpayers money. Typical Tahoe.

    What a GREAT use of funds. Happy to see a project that makes the lake more enjoyable and accessible for locals and visitors alike. It’s been a long time coming and I honestly didn’t think it would happen in my lifetime. Congratulations to all involved. MANY thanks for your efforts and tenacity.

    That place has been jumping since it recently opened! That project helped beautify the City for locals and visitors, made a really nice gathering place, probably created environmental improvements for the lake, and a dangerously decaying retaining wall that was ready to collapse and injure someone was addressed. Sounds good to me.

    Thanks CTC for the contribution of grant funds for this much appreciated project.
