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.
