Headed to Lake Tahoe for Christmas? Parking rules 'heavily enforced' near Heavenly Resort
South Lake Tahoe Police says illegal parking will be "heavily enforced" in residential areas by Heavenly Mountain Ski Resort throughout the Christmas and New Year's holiday weekends.
In the past week there have been a significant number of vehicles double parked in streets, blocking driveways or making roads impassable, according to a South Lake Tahoe Police Department news release.
With storms lined up to hit the region through the weekend and beyond, the concern is for emergency vehicles being able to access roads into these neighborhoods.
SLTPD says parking on residential streets should be single file along one side of the road other than on Ski Run Boulevard where cars are parked diagonally.
Residential streets where parking will be enforced include Keller Road, Ski Run Boulevard, Regina Road, Needle Peak Road, Saddle Road, and Wildwood Avenue. Officers will issue citations to individuals that violate parking laws and vehicles will be towed if they are blocking access to roads or driveways.
