Public input wanted for two Highway 1 projects

Your input is wanted from the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission and Caltrans on two Highway 1 projects that are now under development. The Chanticleer Bicycle/Pedestrian Overcrossing Project and the Highway 1 Bay-Porter/State Park Auxiliary Lanes Project.

The SCCRTC says the first meeting focuses on the Chanticleer Bicycle/Pedestrian Overcrossing – a part of the Highway 1 41st/Soquel Auxiliary Lanes Project. They say the final design and right-of-way phases are underway for this project. The designs include construction of northbound and southbound auxiliary lanes, and a new bicycle and pedestrian overcrossing at Chanticleer Avenue.

The second meeting, they say, will focus on the Highway 1 Bay-Porter/State Park Auxiliary Lanes Projectwhich proposes to construct northbound and southbound auxiliary lanes between the Bay Street/Porter Avenue to Park Avenue, and Park Avenue to State Park Drive interchanges. The project would include retaining walls near the Bay Avenue / Porter Street interchange, replacement of Capitola Avenue overcrossing, and placement of sound walls along the corridor as needed.
