Loop road proponents ready to meet about relocation

The Tahoe Transportation District is trying to figure what it will take to relocate people after acquiring their property so the loop road on the mountain side can be put in near the state line on the South Shore.

A meeting about the relocation assistance plan and a community impact assessment will be July 25 from 5-7pm at Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel in South Lake Tahoe.

One purpose of the gathering is to inform people who would be impacted by the proposed road alignment of their rights as a property owner or renter.

The loop road is what transportation officials want to build behind the east part of South Lake Tahoe, and Harrah’s and MontBleu. This would be the new Highway 50. The current highway would become city streets through what is called the tourist core of the South Shore.
