While our campus of 10,200 students currently generates approximately 20,000 vehicle trips per day through the two campus entrances, this figure has varied from 18,000 to 21,500 during the last eleven years. Recent preliminary projections indicate that, all things being equal, this figure may rise to approximately 31,000 vehicle trips per day when campus enrollment reaches 15,000 students. Increasing the percentage of students residing on-campus or further encouraging the use of transportation alternatives - both of which are goals of the LRDP EIR - could mitigate these traffic increases.

Eastern Access: The earliest plans for the UCSC campus and all campuswide plans prepared since that time recognize the eventual need for an eastern access route to connect the campus within the state highway system. An agreement between The Regents of the University -of California and the County of Santa Cruz, dated November 13, 1961, states in part that:

The County shall, at its expense, provide right of way engineering and construct and maintain a connecting highway facility between the State Highway System in the vicinity of the junction of State Sign Route 9, 17 and 1 and a point on the eastern perimeter of the proposed campus area, which point will be approved by the University. County further agrees that the right of way acquired will be of sufficient width ultimately to accommodate a six traveled lane roadway with a divided center strip, and that in all regards the engineering for and construction of said six traveled lane highwav in all phases of its development shall be in accordance with Santa Cruz County highway requirements.

In January 1988 the Cowell Foundation, owners of the Pogonip property where the eastern access would most likely be located, offered an easement for the eastern access roadway to both the City of Santa Cruz and the University of California. [Resolution N518016] In a letter from Max Thelan, President of S.H. Cowell Foundation to John Laird, Mayor of Santa Cruz and to Robert Stevens, Chancellor of UC Santa Cruz, dated January 27, 1988, the City accepted the easement on March 22, 1988 and the University accepted the easement on April 28, 1988. [Letter from David Bimbaum, University Counsel, to Trustees of the S.H. Cowell Foundation, April 28, 1988] The easement provides for a two-lane roadway with bicycle paths along a general route passing through the Pogonip property.
