Good Morning Truckee: Delta Variant Impacts + Town Construction Projects

VIEW RECORDING

Nevada County is experiencing an unprecedented number of COVID-19 cases admitted to its two hospitals. As of August 24, 2021, Nevada County’s case rate was 49.1 cases per day per 100,000 and the test positivity rate was 12.0%, one of the highest in California. The surge of the Delta Variant is disrupting our long-anticipated recovery and renewing uncertainties for businesses, employees, parents, and students.

On hand will be Nevada County Public Health Officer Dr. Scott Kellermann to provide an update on COVID-19, Delta Variant, vaccines, boosters, mask mandates, and event limitations. Joining him will be Harry Weis, President and CEO Tahoe Forest Health System to provide an update of what we’re seeing locally from our hospital’s perspective.

Also joining the program will be Town of Truckee Director of Public Works Dan Wilkins. Dan will update us on the Summer 2021 construction activity such as the Brockway Road Trail Project, Coldstream Roundabout and more. He’ll also touch upon future construction activity such as the Truckee River Legacy Trail Phases 4 and 5, West River Street Streetscape Project, Church Street Extension and Trout Creek Restoration, and more.

Viewers can participate through Zoom, watch the livestream at Truckee.com, http://www.ttctv.org, or on Suddenlink Channel 18. The session will be recorded and available for viewing at a later date.

If you have any events coming up or announcements of interest to the community, you can email them Lynn@Truckee.com by Monday, September 13th at 5:00 pm and it will be read at the end of the program. Or if you are on Zoom, you can make your own announcement. Announcements should be able to be read in one minute or less.

Good Morning Truckee is a community forum to provide timely, relevant information on a variety of topics. It is open to the public – everyone is invited free of charge. It is held the second Tuesday of every month virtually from 7:30-8:30 am.

Whether you are new to the community or have lived here for years, hearing from our leaders in the community is an enjoyable way to stay on top of important issues, connect and engage. One of the great things about living in a small community like Truckee is that you can personally know your leaders and work with them to make a difference.
