Cliff Dr. Resiliency Project

Location:

Cliff Dr.

Description:

January 2023 saw major storm events that caused significant erosion to the bluff along Cliff Drive southwest of Hooper Beach. These storms undermined the retaining wall installed in the mid-1990s. Last fall, the City initiated a study to assess risks to the bluff due to sea level rise and storm surge, which may threaten Cliff Drive's accessibility for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists in the future.

Current: 

• The City of Capitola Public Works Department is hosting a public meeting in the Community Center at 4400 Jade Street in Capitola this Tuesday, February 27, 2024, from 6 to 8 pm. The purpose is to discuss potential bluff risks and explore alternatives to ensure continued circulation, whether by foot, bike, or vehicle along this section of the Capitola coastline. Your input is crucial in developing and evaluating these alternatives.
