Lake Tahoe environmental groups sue to halt Palisades Tahoe development
The League to Save Lake Tahoe has filed a lawsuit against Placer County’s approval of the Village at Palisades Tahoe specific plan, a large-scale development project. The League, known for its “Keep Tahoe Blue” initiative, argues that the project will exacerbate traffic congestion, air pollution, and water quality issues in the Lake Tahoe Basin. … The proposed development, backed by Alterra Mountain Company, includes nearly 300,000 square feet of commercial space, almost 1,500 bedrooms, and over 2,000 parking spaces. Environmental reports from the Village at Palisades Tahoe indicate the project would generate 3,300 new daily car trips on peak days, with 1,353 of those entering the Tahoe Basin, significantly contributing to pollution.
