Submitted by paula on Mon, 01/12/2015 - 10:54pm
Due to a lack of snow in South Lake Tahoe, the new bike path snow removal policy has yet to be put into action.
While snow plows are deployed when three inches of snow accumulates on roadways, there was never a policy to determine when snow would be removed on bike trails.
This winter the City has launched a pilot program to include snow removal on Class 1 bike paths as a secondary feature, after roads and City buildings, during a significant snow event.

Submitted by paula on Wed, 12/31/2014 - 11:31am
When reflecting over the past year it's hard to remember all that happened in one's life, unless you're good at keeping a journal and you have time to re-read it.

I reviewed our analytics, the numbers that are kept to show how many people read South Tahoe Now stories at any given point, and drew from those numbers to come up with the "South Lake Tahoe's Top Stories of 2014."
