Letter: 56-acre project recreation area - planning or abuse?
Submitted by paula on Thu, 02/03/2022 - 6:01am
I have always been very interested in the 56-acre project and saw the latest post about the land swap, etc. I want to STRONGLY object to any idea of putting City and/or County facilities in the 56-acre project area. To do so, would severely compromise the nature of the project for recreation and senior services. Parking would be problematic in this area — the ONE area that the people of South Lake Tahoe have dedicated to their enjoyment and functions. The fact that using the new facility to rent out for events, will already take lots of additional parking.
