Volunteers Needed in South Lake Tahoe

Habitat for Humanity, an international organization, devoted to building “simple, decent, and affordable” housing, is looking for volunteers in South Lake Tahoe. As part of their “A Brush with Kindness” program, an informative meeting will be held on May 17th, 6:30pm, at the Hope Lutheran Church.

This nation-wide program, serving low-income homeowners who struggle to maintain the exterior of their homes, is looking for volunteers who can help with exterior painting, landscaping, and minor repairs.

CHANGE TO HWY. 50 CLOSURE AND LAKE TAHOE REAL ESTATE

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — C.C. Myers, the contractor for the Highway 50 closure project, has decided on May 11th as the earliest possible start date for the two-week closure.

The reason for the later start than previously announced is the company is finishing and approving the custom form liners for the new rock wall, spokesperson, Ruyak said. The project is still on schedule, she added.

The closure will coincide with the AMGEN Tour of California, expected to bring 20,000 to 25,000 visitors to the area in mid-May.

“(The start date) is going to be up to (the contractor),” Mike Cook, a Caltrans spokesman, told the South Lake Tahoe city council March 5. “If we got beautiful weather and they can go, we’re going to have to go.”

C.C. Myers plans on being completely finished with the two-week closure and the six weeks of one-way traffic control by the July 4 weekend.

Obviously, this change will effect everyone traveling to and from South Lake Tahoe and Lake Tahoe real estate owners, as well as Lake Tahoe businesses. Before starting out on any travel plans, check this designated website…http://www.way2tahoe.com/project_schedule
