Location
The Vacaville Center is located north of the City of Vacaville
at 2000 North Village Parkway, just off of Vaca Valley Parkway. Parking at
the Center is regulated. You must purchase either a semester-long
SCC parking permit or a daily permit ($1 in quarters) available
from a machine in the Center parking lot.
There will be a new driveway into
the Vacaville Center parking lot. Construction crews will be closing
Akerly Drive beginning Friday, August 19. Those driving to the
Center from the east (from Leisure Town Road, past Kaiser) will
simply be turning right into the driveway just past the former turn
onto Akerly. Those approaching the Center from I-505 or the west
side of Vaca Valley Parkway will need to make a U-turn at the former
Akerly Drive and come back to the entrance. The construction company
has promised to post large signs and to alert the City of possible
traffic issues on Vaca Valley Parkway beginning on August 22.
