City Council Makes MoveTowards Increasing Recreation Area in South Lake Tahoe

You may have noticed all of the blue snow plows at their home next to the South Lake Tahoe Recreation Center, Ice Arena and Campground on Rufus Allen Boulevard. During the last city council meeting there was a unanimous vote to move the current Public Works Streets Division yard (that houses the snow plows) to a new home on the corner of D Street and Shop Street. The council voted to spend just under $400,000 on the purchase, thus paving the way to further expand the work on the 56 acre project.

The 56 acre project encompasses the current home to the library, recreation center, senior center, campground, ice arena and museum buildings. The plans in place will expand what was created at Lakeview Commons over into the county and city owned land to enhance the recreational experience in South Lake Tahoe. Funding is not yet available for this project.
