Snippets about Lake Tahoe
· Signs recently posted at South Lake Tahoe post offices announcing changes to retail service hours were posted in error, and have since been removed. There are no plans to adjust retail service hours in the Lake Tahoe region at this time.
· Truckee Department of Public Works road crews will be performing cross country drainage maintenance work in the easements in the Prosser area from Aug. 3-18. Expect delays.
· Sierra Nevada College has been named one of the 30 Great Small Colleges for Nature Lovers by the website greatvaluecolleges.net
· Here is a link to El Dorado County’s “most wanted” suspects.
· South Lake Tahoe is going to spend $255,000 for conceptual designs at the swim complex.
To spend $255.000 on a conceptual design in a waist of taxpayer dollars. Just think what could be done with that money being spent on something useful.
Spend the $255K on repairing and repaving the crumbling, potholed city streets before anything else. Pave the other side of Tahoe Keys Blvd. and Idaho and others that were recently and terribly unwisely only half paved. Is it the scarcity of oxygen that results in such poor planning decisions? Perhaps lack of formal education? There must be a reason for such poor performance.
Cover the damn pot holes,We have them everywhere…….
Isn’t it just grand that the City has so much extra money to waste on studies and the like?
We used to have a world-class Airshow that brought family entertainment to 10,000 people locally, now we have bupkis and the Minden Airshow has the Thunderbirds…
And our Recreation Department spends a quarter of a million dollars on another study. And the beat goes on…
Time for another house cleaning. I swear if anyone asks a city employee about potholes at the council meeting they look like they stepped in dog Cr#@.
Too good to fill potholes when they’re busy designing complete streets, sidewalks, bike parks and swimming pools.
Ilived in Lake Tahoe from 1977-1995 and it STILL is the most beautiful place on earth. Since I left, the corporate greed and consumption has led to an attitude of neglect when it comes to the infrastructure of the area.
If you want people to experience THE LAKE, make it a pleasure to be there. FIX what needs to be fixed an the rest will take care of itself. You can’t experience the new culture if you constantly have to look out for sinkholes,potholes, road closures,you get my point. Safety first. If you have to fear for your wellbeing just driving around the lake, hell stay home, watch it on Globe Trekker or House Hunters, it’s safer.
