Event Date:
June 17, 2017 - 9:30am Volunteers can meet at one of three locations throughout South Tahoe to pick up litter from the areas around our bike paths. Then we’ll get together at the League to Save Lake Tahoe office for a free lunch and celebration. All ages are welcome and all supplies will be provided.
We encourage volunteers to ride their bike, which also makes you eligible to enter a free raffle for a chance to win prizes!

South Lake Tahoe bike trails to receive snow removal in pilot program
Submitted by paula on Mon, 01/12/2015 - 9:54pm
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.

Have you noticed the new, blue signs placed along some of the South Lake Tahoe bike trails? They are part of a pilot way finding sign project to help cyclists between Kingsbury Grade and Meyers.
There are currently eight signs up in four locations, so people using the trails can see the directions from opposing views.
According to Steve Noll, community planning consultant with Design Workshop, “the international best practices for way finding signs consist of four elements known as 'The Four D’s: distance, direction, destination and distinction'."
