SANTA CRUZ COUNTY — The Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission narrowed down a list of projects to study that are meant to improve traffic on three major routes in the county.
On Thursday, the commission cut two scenarios from a list of six that describes investments that could be made on three parallel routes in the county: Highway 1, Soquel Avenue/Drive and Freedom Boulevard, and the Santa Cruz Branch Rail Line.
The scenarios include a trail only on the rail line, a rail with trail, a bus rapid transit with trail, and a rail with trail including freight.
A “no build” scenario is also listed on the study.
The RTC is expected to select a final scenario in December 2018, and then work on finding funding to either implement projects or evaluate them further.
