Santa Cruz Gateway

Santa Cruz Gateway Survey #1

Thank you for participating in the Ocean Street Gateway redesign project. With your help, RHAA Landscape Architecture & Planning and the City are working to improve and beautify the main gateway to Santa Cruz at the intersection of Ocean Street, Highway 17, and Plymouth Streets.

New landscaping, public art, entrance signage, and other elements are being considered for medians and the landscape areas along Ocean Street as well new paving and traffic striping, to create a more welcoming entrance to Santa Cruz, calm traffic, and increase public safety.

Your feedback will help us determine the look and feel of the new Ocean Street Gateway. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey below.
