Public input sought at next US50 Main Street Management Plan Open House

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The third of four open houses to discuss the Highway 50/Main Street Management Plan for the South Shore will be held on Wednesday, November 20 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel in South Lake Tahoe.

After the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) approved the Highway 50 Revitalization Plan last year, focus has been on the Main Street plan (MontBleu/Lake Parkway to Pioneer Trail).

TRPA is inviting the public to give their input as the design evolution of the plan comes into view. The appointed working group of community members and agencies will meet prior to the Open House to work through details as well.

The open house will feature informational stations for residents to give input on the three design alternatives proposed. TRPA and the Tahoe Transportation District will host their final open house at the beginning of 2020 with a reveal of the final plan. Residents are encouraged to give their input on what should be considered in the final stages of design for this project. With the pending relocation of Highway 50 behind the casino core, residents and visitors alike will have a safer and more usable main street core. The new alignment of U.S. Highway 50 will stretch from Pioneer Trail to Lake Parkway. Residents can expect amenities like bike lanes, wider pedestrian sidewalks, and more open gathering spaces throughout the main street corridor.

Since it is an open house format, the public can drop by at any time during the event and provide their input. The City of South Lake Tahoe is holding a meeting on their upcoming telecommunication/cell tower ordinance on the same evening starting at 6:00 p.m. so participants could possibly attend both if desired.

The Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel is located at 4130 Lake Tahoe Boulevard, South Lake Tahoe, California.
