Green bike lanes come to Central Coast city

Big changes are coming for current and future cyclists in Watsonville. The Watsonville Police Department says new green bike lanes are coming to Bridge Street and other spots around the city.

The department says the project to bring green lanes throughout the city is funded by a $325,000 grant the city received from the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission.

Crews painted the green bike lanes Monday in time for an official ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday on Bridge Street.
