TRPA to Hold Virtual Public Forum

      The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, that agency akin to God, has announced a meeting on the future of our beloved Meeks Bay, an icon of the West Shore, and a historical relic from ages past.   Just a few year ago, the agency, with the help of various others, shut down the yacht harbor at the mouth of Meeks Creek between the Meeks Bay Resort and the State Park campground.   This well-used recreation center adjacent to the resort campground with its docks and launch ramp provided good access to the lake, of which there are precious few on the West Shore.
       Consequently,  these public meetings will provide information for all local residents to grasp the basic plans in development by the Feds.   With such limited numbers of concerned locals, the meetings could be nothing more than an exercise in bureaucratic methodology: schedule the meetings,  post information related to bullet points of the agenda, and move forward with the "plan" as put forward by the involved agency(s).   This could happen here in our own backyard.
     The Mayor's recommendation:  get involved by attending the "Zoom" meeting this Wednesday from 5:30 pm-7:30pm.   The announcement can be found on the TRPA website and an agenda is attached.  If you have a computer and WiFi, get on it.   It will be worth the effort to be informed as to the plan for the future of the West Shore.
