Santa Cruz Changes - 4: Pacific-Laurel-Front

Demolition on this major redevelopment project has just begun in March, 2021. The project site is bounded by Pacific Avenue, Laurel Street, and Front Street. The City website page is here. The image below is an architect's rendering.

The old Taco Bell drive-thru on this corner has been closed for several years; here's what it looked like in 2017 (courtesy of Google Streetview).

Two more tall mixed-use projects will soon follow, adjacent to the north between this one and the Metro Center, straddling Maple Alley, which will be widened into a pedestrian way. More on those projects later...
