It's a gorgeous weekend, so let's get outdoors, safely!

The Escalona Greenway from Highland to Bay is exactly a mile long, making a perfect 2-mile loop wherever you start on the street.

Come on out to safely walk, run, ride or roll - by yourself, with your dog, or even a friend or two - and enjoy the longest Slow Street in Santa Cruz.

The City Council unanimously adopted Slow Streets earlier this Summer and City staff chose 11 streets citywide on which to discourage through-traffic and encourage outdoor physical distancing during the pandemic.

And if you're a cyclist, use the Escalona Greenway as your safe east-west connection from the Harvey West Trail or the Mission Hill Bridge to Bay Street, the far westside, UCSC, or even Highway 1 and Wilder Ranch beyond.
