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. - The City of South Lake Tahoe has added a chapter to its City Code to satisfy requirements by the new Senate Bill 946, a law that went into effect in California January 1 to protect and regulate sidewalk vendors. The bill was created to outline what local governments could do while protecting the local entrepreneurship and economic development opportunities for people to
support themselves and their families, especially to immigrant and low-income communities.
During its February 2 meeting, the Council voted unanimously to create an ordinance that met the requirements of the bill while outlining the areas in South Lake Tahoe where sidewalk vendors would be allowed, and not be allowed.
