Public Safety and Ocean Street/Upper Eastside Development are Highlights of City Hall to YOU on Dec. 7

The City of Santa Cruz welcomes all Ocean Street and Upper Eastside residents and business owners to City Hall to YOU community forum on Wednesday, Dec. 7, 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Elks Lodge, 150 Jewell St.

This third event in a quarterly series provides an opportunity for the community to speak one-on-one with city leaders and staff on neighborhood-specific topics. Individuals are encouraged to voice their ideas and concerns and ask questions during an open house of city department displays and town hall presentation by city leaders as hundreds of neighbors did earlier this year. Three previous City Hall to YOU events focused on the Eastside, Westside and Downtown/Beach Flats/Harvey West Area.

Highlights of the Dec. 7 event will include Public Safety Team progress and development for Ocean Street Corridor and the Upper Eastside. City projects and programs relevant to Ocean Street and Upper Eastside neighborhoods will be displayed at 20 booths where there will be opportunity for dialogue with Police Chief Kevin Vogel, City engineers and planners, Library staff eager to hear how the Library can improve community quality of life, and dozens of other staff across City departments.

Demonstrations will include how best to stack sandbags to guard against flooding and a sample of Community Emergency Response Training (CERT) offered by the Fire Department to City residents.
