The road is bordered by Cerra Vista Elementary School.

The city is set to do road improvements on Cerra Vista Drive following a recent vote by the Hollister council.
Council members last week gave the go-ahead for $250,000 in rehabilitation work for the road on the city’s southeast side that includes Cerra Vista School and residences. It followed the council’s approval in November of $500,000 toward road fixes for the year in the latest plan for capital spending.
Councilman Victor Gomez at the time requested public works officials to include Cerra Vista Drive on the priority list due to complaints from constituents. Councilman Ray Friend last week questioned why Cerra Vista would be first in line.
“There’s other roads that are a lot more dangerous and higher on the priority list, I’m sure,” Friend said to public works official David Rubcic, who presented the consideration.
Rubcic explained that Cerra Vista is a “collector road” for many minor streets intersecting it, which was an important factor for Gomez as well. Rubcic said the road had absorbed a lot of weathering over the years.
“If we don’t take care of it now, we’ll be looking at a complete reconstruction,” Rubcic said.
