The Santa Cruz City Council will likely begin hearing arguments on the issue of one-way versus two-way roads on downtown Pacific Avenue in September. A retail planning group released a report last year, stating that the number one thing local leaders could do to boost downtown business revenue would be to make the street two-way. Plans to change the one-way sections of Pacific moved forward until a test run by emergency vehicles caused a postponement. The Downtown Association hold several meetings with its 500 members in the next few weeks to judge what business owners would prefer.
