Highway 89 and West Shore Information Meetings

      Well, now.  Amidst the present turmoil in California, the bureaucracy continues to function.  Some people are working somewhere, to be sure.   And some have Tahoma in mind.  Or at least the West Shore, our locale.  After years of wrangling over recreational improvements, it seems that things are moving ahead.  And the bureaucrats are asking US to help.  Help by offering comments and suggestions to tentative plans.
      Three meetings have been calendared to open discussion of plans for the following projects:
1) State Route 89 Recreation Corridor Mgmt Plan
(SR 89 from Camp Richardson to Sugar Pine State Park(on Tahoma's doorstep).
a video meeting is avail on vimeo.com405235880.

2)  Meeks Bay Restoration Project
     This one of the most important projects to be developed on the West Shore in years.  After the large bike trail extension, completed last summer, it is logical to finish that project with massive improvements at Meeks Bay/and the resort itself.  This will include Meeks Bay Lagoon restoration(the delta of Meeks Creek actually);
     a) Parking improvements and camp ground reconstruction 
     b) Public Pier construction
     c) boat launch ramp construction
All of these improvements are sorely needed for West Shore residents and visitors alike.  It's been over 3 years since the lagoon was closed to all boats; the ramp was closed for all launching; and the camp ground was diminished in spaces.  See more info at this site:  friendswestshore.org/meeks-bay-restoration-project

3)  West Shore Restoration
    TRPA virtual meeting on 4/22/20trpa.org
    USDA Forest Service @ 4:30pm on 4/28/20 virtual meeting

      These meetings will generate considerable information for homeowners along the West Shore and hopefully will provide a blueprint for a great future along out lake front.
