A RESOLUTION TO RELOCATE THE SANTA CRUZ PORTION OF THE PACIFIC COAST BIKE ROUTE WAS APPROVED AT THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING YESTERDAY. THE PATH CURRENTLY RUNS ALONG MISSION STREET, WHERE 2 BICYCLISTS HAVE BEEN FATALLY STRUCK BY VEHICLES IN RECENT YEARS. THE RELOCATION PLAN INCLUDES MOVING THE BIKE PATH TO WEST CLIFF DRIVE, A ROUTE WITH CONSIDERABLY LESS VEHICLE TRAFFIC. A MOTION WAS APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO REQUEST THAT BICYCLE COMMITTEES AND THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION STUDY WAYS TO IMPROVE SAFETY ON WEST CLIFF DRIVE.
