This data set contains organized data created based on data from the City of Santa Cruz, the City of Santa Barbara, and other public records. The data describes the active transportation infrastructure projects that were installed in the cities of Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara between 2018 and 2024. Some project information was interpreted from documents such as project alignment maps and project descriptions. Other information was directly communicated by city staff. The data contains information about the type of infrastructure element and the amount (in feet or count) of each element by the following change conditions: new, upgrade, retrofit.
