Need to make a real bike path from Fanny Bridge to Common's Beach. Very dangerous right now having to go through parking lots, up and around to big road with no real shoulder, inadequate sidewalks for pedestrians.

A mixed use community meeting space and artist space could allow for retail, meetings, performances and many other community uses that will generate not only visitor draw, but give the locals a sense of place. This is unique opportunity to revitalize the "ghost town" of Tahoe City and make something for the Lake community that measures up to new millenial values of innovation and culture that we are seeing in Truckee & The Villages.

Housing seems to be a huge problem in the area. Unless some lower income housing options are available there won't be employees to staff anything else. Start with the firehouse and make some rooms available to rent

What ever happens to the buildings please make sure the money that it generates ( if any ) stays in Tahoe City. We send enough money down the hill.

Make it an indoor garden to teach the community how to grow food, and get hands on experience. Create a year round Hydroponic garden that will feed homeless and families in need...*****Tahoe Food Hub Collaboration******

whether or not to demolish or refurbish would depend on costs analysis and final concept for building. I do like the idea of an amphitheater since we currently use a portable stage for music in the park; if that is the final then it only makes sense to use the buildings to support entertainment like concessions with spaces available to local food and beverage establishments.

They two very unique and separate building types. The historic building is worth saving and the firehouse building is ugly but very substantial. It would need to be clad to make the exterior more fitting to the location. Tearing it all down is always an option but based on the glacial pace projects approved and built, I wouldn't recommend that!

Just do a good job and make it nice.

I've co-chaired the Commons Beach Strategic Plan Committee back in 1999 and participated in all subsequent Fire House planning sessions. One theme has been consistent with those most involved through this process. And that is that this old firehouse MUST BE REMOVED. And the old Community Center building preserved for historical reasons, even if it must be moved to a new location. I will trust that the county will consider this strongly in their final decision making process. And please do not forget, Commons Beach (including the area with the Community Center and Fire House was deeded to The People of Tahoe City. The county does not own this property, they are simply the caretakers of this property. The best outcome would be to continue to have the TC PUD be given the responsibility to be the stewards of this property and be given a certain and reasonable budget to oversee it. This way the people of Tahoe City have local control of what rightfully belongs to them. Thank you.

Whatever you do make it mixed use. That always helps with keeping a space alive and vibrant. Oh, and always make sure part of that mixed use contains good food. Nothing brings people like good food right next to the beach!
