State transportation dollars coming to South Tahoe
The California Transportation Commission on Wednesday allocated $347 million in new funding to 47 projects designed to provide congestion relief for motorists statewide, with one of them being in South Lake Tahoe.
The state Highway Operation and Protection Program will allocate $3.7 million to construct water quality collection and treatment facilities west of Ski Run Boulevard to Wildwood on Highway 50.
In Placer County, $1 million from the locally-administered State-Local Partnership Program will go to Roseville to widen from two to five lanes a one-mile stretch of Fiddyment Road from Baseline Road to Pleasant Grove Boulevard.
The allocations include $281 million from Proposition 1B, a transportation bond approved by voters in 2006. In total, nearly $12 billion in Proposition 1B funds have been allocated by administrative agencies for statewide transportation needs.
The remaining $66 million in allocations came from assorted transportation accounts funded by state and federal dollars.
Here is the projects list.

In South Lake Tahoe, west of Ski Run Boulevard to Wildwood Avenue. Outcome/Output: Construct water quality collection and treatment facilities to comply with the California Regional Water Quality Control Board.
The article states: “projects designed to provide congestion relief for motorists statewide, with one of them being in South Lake Tahoe” yet the project as described does not mention ANYTHING about congestion relief. When the …. is Caltrans gonna coordinate the ridiculous ill-timing of the traffic lights on 50? This need has been unmet for so long that it’s absurd.
The article further states: “construct water quality collection and treatment facilities west of Ski Run Boulevard to Wildwood on Highway 50”. Last I checked,
Wildwood is EAST of Ski Run and as the Chief pointed out, there’s already a retention basin at Wildwood
‘Morons…….I’ve got morons on my team’
Spit…Bingo!
Yah, that plan sounds like it will help ease congestion…
You guys are gettin rolled every time the government shows up!
I agree with the former gov, the scariest words are ‘i am from the government and I am here to help.
Best to hold onto your shorts people. It’s gonna get a whole lot worse.
Help congestion….
It would be sad if it wasn’t so gosh darn funny.
Right on Tom. I don’t think they teach geography any more. East, west whats the difference as they all meet eventually. With this latest water quality upgrade you should be able to see all the way to the lake bottom at 1500 feet plus.
Sad how the they think rerouting the loop road will work as a bi-state project and our leaders can’t even fix the stop lights let alone time them.
I keep waiting for all the grennies to wake up and see how much fuel is being wasted. I bet their answer is to buy more worthless buses.
