The city of Santa Cruz decided to focus on reinforcing the existing pier before ultimately deciding on whether or not to rebuild the section that collapsed.City officials say the improvements will help protect the historic structure from future storm damage while preserving its role as a popular destination for visitors.Santa Cruz lifeguards open up after saving lives in wharf collapse : 'Waves came in and got higher'Rep.
