The new modern library portion of the project, funded by voter-approved Measure S, will replace the existing downtown library. The project is located in Downtown Santa Cruz at a city-owned surface parking lot (Lot 4), bounded by Cathcart, Cedar and Lincoln Streets. The weekly Downtown Farmers’ Market that is currently located on Wednesdays at the project site will move to a permanent home in Downtown Santa Cruz.
The City Council Approved Downtown Library & Affordable Housing Project includes these important elements:
A modern library with resources for all
A child care facility
At least 124 units of very low-income housing
Approximately 258 Bicycle Parking Spaces, including varying sizes, bike lockers and e-bike charging
235 parking spaces including 25 level 2 EV charging stations
Project Milestones & Accomplishments:
Acquisition of 113 Lincoln Street
Building Permit Application Submitted
Affordable Housing Sustainable Communities Award of $33.5M
On February 11, 2016, the SCPL Facilities Financing Authority placed a $67 million bond measure (later designated Measure S) on the June, 2016 ballot. With 70% approval, voters agreed to fund Measure S.
These Measuring Measure S pages serve as a timeline and a documentation of the planning process and progress at each of the ten branches.
