Big Bear Lake Improvment Agency to get Involved

At the March 9, 2009 City Council meeting, the Big Bear Lake City Council and Improvement Agency, directed staff, including Redevelopment Director for the City, Lyle Haynes, to move forward with projects to update and enhance sidewalk lighting in the Village and create lighted pedestrian paths connecting Bartlett Parking Lot to Pine Knot Ave. The Pedestrian paths will require cooperation from Village Private Property Owners to become reality.

There still is no plan to address waining demographics of Valley visitors, or for a new and different marketing strategy to curtail the 3 year decline in overall retail sales with current sales off some 40% on the year, said Charlie Brewster, President of the Village Business Association, an affiliate of the Big Bear Lake Chamber of Commerce.
