Capitola Corridor Plan Alternatives Survey

The City of Capitola is currently working on a 41st Avenue Corridor Plan. In January 2026, the Plan was expanded to include portion of Clares Street and Capitola Road with the anticipation of Mall redevelopment. The goal of the Corridor Plan is as follows:

The Corridor Plan for 41st Avenue, Clares Street, and Capitola Road envisions a safe, inclusive, and vibrant street network that reflects Capitola’s identity, supports all travel modes, and fosters local business and community. The Plan will provide guidance for future improvements to Clares Street, 41st Avenue, and Capitola Road. These three corridors surround the current Capitola Mall site and serve as important thoroughfares for the City of Capitola today.

The survey questions focus first on alternatives for Clares Street improvements, and second on options for placemaking and district branding. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and help shape the future of these three corridors.

In 2026, the City conducted traffic counts along Clares Street to inform this study and found that the traffic volumes allow for the potential to reduce the middle section of the corridor from four lanes to two lanes. Conditions subject to change based on future mall redevelopment plans and studies.

Please review the following alternatives for the central portion of Clares Street and provide your preference.
