West Cliff Road Realignment at Lighthouse Field
Santa Cruz
Description
The city plans to realign roughly 600 feet of West Cliff Drive and its pedestrian path on and adjacent to the coastal bluff near Lighthouse Field. The Commission approved the permits and adopted the environmental review documents.
Impact summary
The realignment moves the road and path away from the eroding bluff and sets the stage for separating pedestrian and bicycle travel in the future.
