Have you noticed the "10th Mountain Division Memorial Highway" signs along state Route 89 and wondered, why here?
The Tahoe we know and love today - and America's experience of mountain sports in general - would look a lot different if it weren't for the 10th.
In our latest episode of "The Placer Life," the second of our four-part miniseries about the ways World War II changed life in Placer County, we share the incredible story of the 10th's heroic efforts during World War II - and how veterans of the 10th changed the way we look at our mountains forever.

The Placer County Board of Supervisors approved additional funding for expanded mobility options in North Lake Tahoe last month. The board authorized funding agreements totaling nearly $2.8 million for the following projects:
-
North Lake Tahoe workforce vanpool program - $602,754
-
TART Connect expanded service hours - $1,425,000
-
Tahoe City Downtown Access Improvements: Expansion of Grove Street parking lot - $759,000
The board previously approved the use of TOT funding for a total of 13 investment projects during its Oct. 16 meeting last year. With these three approvals, nine of those projects now have finalized funding agreements while the final four are expected to be heard at board meetings later this year.
Revenue from transient occupancy tax collected in eastern Placer County is being used to fund the projects, which were solicited, vetted and recommended through the North Tahoe Community Alliance Board of Directors, the TOT Committee and the Capital Projects Advisory Committee through the TOT-TBID Dollars At Work program.
