Unfortunately we have some bad news — we've decided not to move forward with Aster Station. In the end, we aren't the right people to be able to push forward a project like this in our city right now.

It's not how we wanted this to end. We've spent years trying to make this project a reality. We really wanted this to be a fun thing to work on. But it became clear that path was going to require far more cooperation than the city has been willing to offer. At least, if we wanted to stay sane.

Thank you to all the designers, engineers, and contractors that helped us get this far. We've been able to meet all kinds of great people who are passionate about improving our city through this project. We are endlessly proud of the design that was created. It would have been a really cool place.

We still believe in the urgent need to improve South Lake Tahoe's built infrastructure — to create a city representative of the wealth of the nature that surrounds us. We have hopes that others will have the mental fortitude to take on that mantle. And if you're that person and want some help? Let us know. kyle@thoseasters.com

As an addendum: there is zero chance whatsoever of us restarting this project. Nothing will change that. We are interested in helping others achieve their dreams — we are not looking for help to "save" Aster Station.
