Regional transit ideas to be discussed

Tahoe Transportation District is having two public workshops next week to talk about transit options that would link the South and North shores.

Carl Hasty, executive director of TTD, told Lake Tahoe News nine proposals have been whittled down to three.

However, those proposals are not available online for people to review before the meetings. The only obvious information is for what is being called an aquabus.

No details of the meetings have been released to the media other than the dates-locations. The first meeting is March 6 at 6pm at 128 Market St., Stateline (the TRPA office); the second is March 7 at 6pm at 221 Fairway, Tahoe City (the Tahoe City PUD office).

The transportation board is expected to vote on a preferred alternative at the April meeting, then the environmental review process begins after that.
