The letter, written by Land Planning consultant Jay Kniep, suggestsa ban on boat trailers and overnight recreational vehicle parkingalong the road while allowing other vehicles to park alongto-be-painted parking lanes on each side of Venice Drive.

Extended camping and boat trailers encroaching on the street's bikelanes are among the problems identified by the city regardingparking on the street.

The changes would be accomplished by a privately funded repaintingof the street, which would include a bike lane, as well as aparking lane, on each side of the road, according to the letter.

Boat-trailer storage would be available in the California TahoeConservancy's one-acre lot on the north side of Venice Drive, theletter said.

The plan has drawn support from the conservancy, and a licensingagreement for use of the lot could be authorized as soon as today,according to a letter to City Manager David Jinkens fromConservancy Program Manager Bruce Eisner.
