The city of Santa Cruz has begun the first round of work on a roundabout project to be built in the city’s beach area. Construction began last week on the first of 2 roundabouts. According to city officials, the roundabouts will improve safety, minimize traffic and reduce noise. The 1st roundabout project, which will be located near Depot Park at the intersection of Pacific Avenue and Center Street, includes paving and streetscape improvements. The 2nd roundabout, at the intersection of Pacific avenue and the entrance to the Santa Cruz municipal wharf, is expected to be built after next summer.
