El Dorado County Department of Transportation (DOT) will hold a virtual town hall meeting Thursday, July 15, 2021 to discuss a pilot project initiated over the Memorial Day weekend to reduce the historical traffic congestion caused by holiday traffic exiting the Tahoe Basin.
The town hall meeting will take place at 6 p.m. via Zoom. To participate, visit www.zoom.us and enter the following ID 951 6742 5157.
The project included installing turn restriction signage prohibiting right-hand turns from North Upper Truckee Road to Westbound U.S. Highway 50, and from Sawmill Road to Westbound U.S Highway 50 on Sundays and holidays. It is set to terminate on October 31, 2021.
DOT took turn movement counts before, during and after the Sunday and Monday of the Memorial Day holiday. That information will be shared at the town hall.
 Did You Shake Out?
Where were you when yesterday's earthquakes in the region occurred? It's a good reminder that we could be anywhere when an earthquake happens. And yesterday's event provides an important reminder to update your family's personal emergency plans and supplies.
Keep yourself and your family safe. Practice "Drop, Cover & Hold On!" before the next earthquake occurs.
Take care of yourself and your pets, check on your neighbors, friends and family and go to public places with AC (think libraries, malls, stores) for relief this weekend.
  Excessive Heat Warning began today at noon.
Hottest days will be Saturday & Sunday.
Be safe & hydrate!

Libraries are a great place to go to learn something new or just "chill" during the upcoming heat wave! Check them out. |
Take an active role in your health & safety during the hot days ahead. #SummerSafety
- Use your air conditioner if you have one. If you are able, safely visit friends, neighbors or family members who have air conditioning.
- Know where you can safely go, if possible, to get cool, including air-conditioned locations such as libraries or other public facilities. Even a few hours spent in air conditioning can help.

 Amid drought conditions across the Sierra Nevada, Lake Tahoe's water level is now less than two feet above its natural rim of 6,223 feet. Tahoe’s water typically gets a boost from spring snowmelt, but this year snowpack was virtually melted by May 11 when Tahoe's snowpack was only 2% of average. The Lake has not been this low since January of 2017.
