South Lake Tahoe Middle School Connectivity Plan update
Submitted by paula on Wed, 03/18/2015 - 9:17pm
Community members, school officials, local planners and agencies have been involved with the South Tahoe Middle School Connectivity Plan for months and the final plan will soon be available. The goal has been to create safer, more walkable and bikeable off highway routes around South Tahoe Middle School (STMS), Bijou Park and Lake Tahoe Community College (LTCC). A $150,000 grant from the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency to the Lake Tahoe Unified School District got the activity in motion.
The project's development team is made up of representatives from the City of South Lake Tahoe, Community Mobility Work Group, Lake Tahoe Unified School District, South Shore Transportation Management Association, TRPA and Tahoe Metropolitan Planning Organization, Trevor Coolidge, Rebecca Bryson, Gavin Feiger, Steve Morales, Steve Teshara and Morgan Beryl.
There have been public workshops to share ideas and opinions on the project as well as an on-line survey. Based on the feedback, the development team will go after funds from the California Active Transportation Program (CAT) to improve the cooridor that spans from the Al Tahoe Blve and Highway 50 intersection to the Johnson Blvd/Al Tahoe intersection.
The final STMS Connectivity Plan will be available in June. In the meantime, teamwork continues between the development team and Cal Trans while the CAT grant is applied for.
