We asked representatives on both sides of Santa Cruz’s Measure O campaign to explain their support or non-support for the initiative. On the “NO” side was former mayor, Don Lane, and on the “YES” side, designer, Lisa Ekstrom.
Santa Cruz Measure O is on the ballot in Santa Cruz on November 8, 2022.
A “yes” vote supports amending the General Plan and Downtown Plan to: (1) prohibit construction of the proposed Downtown Library and Affordable Housing Project and relocation of the Downtown Farmers Market; (2) require development of affordable housing on certain Downtown City-owned surface parking lots; and (3) designate the use of surplus parking district revenue for Downtown affordable housing development projects, alternative transportation programs for downtown workers and other non-parking related expenditures. |
