Herbert Avenue in South Lake Tahoe may be revamped due to the new business development on Highway 50 and Ski Run Boulevard and the existing businesses at Herbert Avenue and Highway 50. To involve the community and get their opinion, the City of South Lake Tahoe is holding a public meeting at the Senior Center on Wednesday, October 25 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
