The Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission will hold public workshops tonight and tomorrow night to hear public input on its Unified Corridor Investment Study, a plan that lays out four scenarios for improving transportation in Santa Cruz County.
Mark Mesiti-Miller is chairman of the friends of Rail with Trail, a group supporting a scenario which creates trail and railroad transit along 20 miles of right-of-way between Westside Santa Cruz and Pajaro Station in Watsonville. A fence would separate the trains from trail users.
The workshops are tonight from 6:00 until 7:30 p.m. at Live Oak Elementary School, 1916 Capitola Road, Live Oak. The second workshop is tomorrow night 6:00 until 7:30 p.m. at Civic Plaza Community Room A, 4th floor, 275 Main Street, in Watsonville.
The RTC hopes to have a decision on which plan to move forward with in early December.
