City addressing complaints about Caltrans projects in South Lake Tahoe
Submitted by paula on Tue, 10/20/2015 - 5:53pm
There's an old joke about the seasons in Lake Tahoe: There are two seasons in Lake Tahoe. Winter, and Road Construction.
While the "winter" comment may not be as it once was, there is no question about "road construction" as it now goes from May through October.
Part of living in the mountains is sharing our best weather months with construction workers, road controls and traffic cones. Residents get that. But what drivers went through during the 2015 construction on highways 50 and 89 was not only inexcusable, it was preventable.
