A project to safeguard pedestrians and enhance traffic flow within the Tahoe City corridor is set to kick off after a key approval by the Placer County Board of Supervisors on Jan. 23. The vote at the last board meeting authorized the director of Public Works to approve a contract with GHD Inc. for professional services to begin the Tahoe City Mobility and Grove Street Intersection Improvements Project along state Route 28.
Placer County is working in coordination with Caltrans on this project and together, staff will analyze multiple alternatives for the intersection including a signal and roundabout. The project is intended to address long-standing community concerns with pedestrian safety and mobility, as well as traffic congestion. Due to the adjacent school on Grove Street, there are frequent school bus stops at this intersection and many children crossing state Route 28 en route to school. READ MORE
Following an earlier agreement with Palisades Tahoe, our Board of Supervisors recently approved a contract to expand parking enforcement to a second ski resort in North Lake Tahoe.
The agreement, approved by the Board of Supervisors on Jan. 23, authorizes the Placer County Department of Public Works to provide back-up enforcement for the resort’s winter parking reservation program. “This is another message to the community that the county is working with our partners to address challenges on our roadways,” said Placer County Deputy Director of Public Works Rebecca Taber.
