Progress continues on Aptos Village Project

Barry Swenson Builder crews are making headway on the Aptos Village Project. In addition to the stabilization of the now-relocated historic Hihn Apple Barn, crews have dug the footings and are getting to work on Building 4, a mixed-use building immediately adjacent to the Apple Barn. They also have been constructing a retaining wall along Granite Way.

County Public Works Begins Road Improvements

The work at Soquel Drive and Trout Gulch Road is expected to take place through July 13, weather permitting.

The Santa Cruz County Public Works Department has started road and storm drain improvement work at Soquel Drive and Trout Gulch Road. The work is part of the Aptos Village Improvement Plan and has been the subject of public input during the planning process.

Working hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The area will be subject to traffic delays and potential lane closures. The County has set up a blog to share information about the project.

John Presleigh, Director of Public Works, County of Santa Cruz, has announced that Soquel Drive and Trout Gulch Road will be subject to traffic delays with potential lane closures between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday, March 20, 2017, through Thursday, July 13, 2017, weather permitting.

These delays and potential lane closures are necessary for roadway and storm drainage improvements. The Department of Public Works would like the motoring public to avoid this area if possible or be prepared for delays of up to twenty minutes.
