Sidewalks on Santa Cruz Avenue Study

This project is intended to further develop a previous study and identify areas where sidewalks should be installed for pedestrian safety along Santa Cruz Avenue between the limits of Olive Street and Johnson Street (see the map at the bottom of this page). The study will include more detailed engineering design alternatives including drainage, potential parking impacts, landscape impacts, etc.

On the lower portion of this page are illustrations of some preliminary concepts that can be used as a basis of discussion as the study progresses toward identifying a preferred plan (click on a graphic for an enlarged view). The illustrations do not necessarily represent all conditions at every point along the study segment.
