Help Prioritize Bike & Field Project Expenditures

The South Shore's recreation Joint Powers Authority (JPA) is seeking applicants to serve on its Bicycle Trail Advisory Committee and its Fields Advisory Committee. As part of Measure R, passed last month to provide funding for both ballfields and bike trails in the community, the formation of committees to advise the JPA on their needs and various relevant issues is required. The committees will consist of seven members each. Applications may be obtained through the South Lake Tahoe City Clerk's office, through the JPA and through the Tahoe branch of the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors office. The deadline to submit applications is January 13, but may be extended.

Tahoe Bike Trail Map Being Expanded

The third edition of the Tahoe Bike Map is expanding with a new name, updated content, and a marketing and distribution plan that will extend its reach from Santa Barbara to the Oregon border, and the Central Valley. The new working title is the Lake Tahoe Bikeway Map. Bikeway is being considered because it more accurately describes the inclusion of several bicycle facilities; roads, paved bike paths, and native surface trails. The enhanced marketing reach will be accomplished through a collaboration with Cycle California! magazine and its 76,000 readers, 20 cycling events, and 800 retail distribution outlets.
