Council to Discuss Solving Intersection Traffic

Drivers who frequent 41st Avenue could find some resolution concerning one of the roadway's busiest intersections.

At the Capitola City Council meeting on Thursday evening, there will be a discussion concerning 41st and Clares Street, where traffic often backs up into 40th Avenue. 

The proposed solution is the make the right lane a right turn only, but the Public Works department has estimated that change to cost $4,000.

Here are the expected highlights of the meeting.

• Capitola's newest police officer, Steve Anderson, will be introduced to the community.
• On the Consent Calendar, the Council is expected to approve an ordinance banning commercial traffic on Reposa Avenue.
• The council will receive a report on the 41st Avenue and Clares Street intersection and provide future direction.
• An ordinance will be introduced which would make commercial recycling mandatory.
