SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. The South Lake Tahoe City Council on Tuesday night approved a traffic study to look into a possible Loop Road alternative.
The US 50 South Shore Community Revitalization Project, known as the Loop Road, is meant to create a main street area in the casino corridor by redirecting U.S. Highway 50.
The plan, which is led by Tahoe Transportation District, would require housing units in the Rocky Point Neighborhood to be torn down, something council has said it is against.
On Feb. 2, they approved a resolution to pursue an alternative route which would keep the neighborhood intact.
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. City council on Tuesday will discuss an alternative idea for the U.S. 50 South Shore Community Revitalization Plan that would not break up the Rocky Point Neighborhood.
The original plan would redirect U.S. Highway 50 around the casino corridor, creating a “main street” through the corridor. To achieve that goal, many housing units in the Rocky Point Neighborhood, south of the casinos, would need to be torn down and new housing would need to be built.
After soliciting feedback from the community, City Manager Joe Irvin and City Attorney Heather Stroud have developed a new potential plan that would avoid tearing down housing units.
