Meeting to address Caltrans work in SLT

Caltrans is hosing a meeting April 12 for people to learn about the upcoming project on two miles of  Highway 50 in South Lake Tahoe.

The primary objective of this $56 million project from the Y to Trout Creek is to collect and treat highway storm water runoff. The project also will help meet the goals of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency’s environmental improvement program.

The project will widen the roadway to provide 6-foot shoulders for bike lanes, replace traffic signals, rebuild curb, gutter and sidewalks and improve pavement cross slope. Caltrans also is working with South Lake Tahoe to make improvements at Sierra Boulevard with a signal and left turn lane.

The meeting is scheduled from 5:45 to 7pm at the South Lake Tahoe Library, 1000 Rufus Allen Blvd. A project presentation will start at 6pm.
