SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. With the rising popularity of e-bikes, the USDA Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit has released a new proposal that would build new trails and expand access on existing trails.
Forest Service officials are weeding through hundreds of comments and discovering they are split down the middle. Half the people approve, half don’t.
The Basin Wide Trails Analysis proposal aims to improve overall trail accessibility and improve user experience.
“We have proposed three new trailheads in the proposal month,” said Jacob Quinn, one of LTBMU project leads. “Some of that is designed to address congestion at existing parking areas, but the other thing that we’re trying to do is to put public access points on public land. So discourage people parking in the back of neighborhoods to access trail systems; to actually put them on public land in appropriate locations.”
