THE SANTA CRUZ CITY COUNCIL HAS VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO LEASE A PARKING LOT ON SANTA CRUZ’S WEST SIDE, SO IT CAN BE TURNED INTO A BICYCLE PUMP TRACK. THE LOT, WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE 100 BLOCK OF WESTERN DRIVE NEAR HIGHWAY 1, WILL BE LEASED FROM THE WILLIAM OW FAMILY FOR 1 DOLLAR A YEAR (FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS).
THE BICYCLE PUMP TRACK IS DESIGNED TO BE SIMILAR TO THE ONE ACROSS FROM THE APTOS POST OFFICE, NEAR THE ENTRANCE TO THE FOREST OF NISENE MARKS STATE PARK.
PROJECT ORGANIZERS HOPE TO HAVE IT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC BY SEPTEMBER.
