State transportation agency spending money near South Lake Tahoe

California Transportation Commission has allocated $4.8 million to construct a water quality and collection and treatment facilities along Highway 50 west of South Lake Tahoe.

The CTC allocated $236 million last week in new funding to 32 projects that will improve the state’s transportation system and strengthen California’s economy.

The allocations include $81 million from Proposition 1B, a transportation bond approved by voters in 2006. In total, nearly $14.5 billion in Proposition 1B funds have been distributed statewide.

The remaining $155 million in allocations came from assorted transportation accounts funded by state and federal dollars.
