Construction Update

920 & 932 West Cliff:

This week, our team will focus on continuing the construction of concrete formwork on top of the retaining wall section that was previously poured. Additionally, Granite will commence pouring concrete for both the wall structure and the face of the wall. These concrete pours are scheduled for 7:00 AM on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Granite is set to begin backfilling the back of the retaining wall next week!

1016 West Cliff:

The focus at 1016 West Cliff will be on placing and grouting 8-ton and 2-ton boulders to establish the foundation for the retaining system.

Engage and Shape the Future of West Cliff: Your Input Matters! 

The City of Santa Cruz team has been excited to hear from the community over the last year through various community engagement activities, and there are still more ways to get involved in shaping the future of West Cliff through the 50-Year Vision!

Here are some upcoming engagement efforts in the works: 

1. Community Conversation Follow-Up: Questionnaire on West Cliff's 50-year Vision: 

Following the December 5th Community Conversation, we are excited to share the four different scenarios from that meeting for the future of West Cliff. These scenarios have been developed based on the feedback received from the community over the past year. 

We invite you to participate in a questionnaire accessible HERE! The questionnaire includes videos that provide summary insights into each scenario, allowing you to put on your 2073 50-Year Visioning glasses to make informed decisions about the future of West Cliff. 

When the Bomb Cyclone Storms hit in January 2023, we came together to understand the future of West Cliff better, and it has been clear that we all agree that Santa Cruz wants West Cliff to continue to be a treasured community space. The 50-year Vision looks to outline this work, and we are excited to keep this conversation going. We appreciate you joining us to ensure that West Cliff remains resilient and accessible for all! 

2. City of Santa Cruz Public Opinion Poll with EMC Research: 

The City of Santa Cruz has partnered with EMC Research to conduct a comprehensive public opinion poll on West Cliff. Residents randomly selected to participate will receive a postcard in the mail containing a survey link, allowing you to provide valuable feedback on the future of West Cliff. Your input is instrumental in ensuring that the vision for West Cliff aligns with our community's diverse perspectives and needs. 

This survey is designed to be statistically significant, aiming for a minimum of 350 resident responses. Your participation will contribute to a robust understanding of the community's preferences and priorities.
