Local law enforcement groups have created a 3-day Safety Enhancement Zone in the city of Santa Cruz. It runs from the Clock Tower to Sycamore Street, and from Center Street to the San Lorenzo River. Triple Fines will be issued in that area for certain municipal code violations (such as having an open container, consuming alcohol in public places, and discharging a firearm). The Enhancement Zone will be in effect from 12:01 a.m. Saturday morning (October 29th) until 3 a-m Tuesday morning (November 1st).
