Public weighs in on Santa Cruz transportation projects

Santa Cruz County has roughly $7 million in federal funds to spend on transportation projects. The County is asking residents how they’d like to see the money spent.

KION’s Brandon Castillo is covering today’s public hearing to find out what people think of various projects proposed by the County’s Regional Transportation Commission.

Proposed projects include pavement repairs, bicycle and sidewalk projects, new Santa Cruz METRO buses, improvements to the Highway 1/9 intersection, environmental review of Highway 1 projects, and traveler assistance programs.

Watch Brandon’s report tonight at 5 and 6 on KION.
