The California Transportation Commission Wednesday approved $107.2 million in grant funding for the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission’s Watsonville-Santa Cruz Multimodal Corridor Program.
Officials say the project will increase safety and throughput on this congested corridor with an innovative package of projects to improve and integrate transit, active transportation, and highway/local roadway modes of travel.
It includes improvements on Highway 1 between Soquel Avenue/Drive and State Park Drive and on Soquel Avenue/Drive between La Fonda Avenue, near Harbor High School, to State Park Drive in Aptos.
