The gateway to UC Santa Cruz is a racetrack for cars. Bicycle lanes provide no physical protection from motor vehicles. Pedestrian provision is non-existent, with people forced to walk in the roadway or through parking lots.

This report, by Gordon Huang, Theodore Overway, Riley Eunhee, and Sara Ford Oades, shows how to redesign the main entrance to safely accommodate all road users, and provide a welcoming gateway to campus. A bidirectional path would link the main entrance to the Great Meadow bike path, and accommodate pedestrians as well as bicyclists.
