• Watsonville Parks and Rec Commission to consider public art for roundabout (santacruzsentinel.com) — Watsonville officials are weighing a new public art installation for the Clifford Avenue–Pennsylvania Drive roundabout, funded largely by a local anonymous donor and featuring mosaics of native wildlife. The Parks and Recreation Commission will also consider a commemorative plaque at the newly reconstructed Ramsay Park, and meets Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in City Council Chambers at Watsonville Civic Plaza.
