Santacroce chaired the city of Ann Arbor's North Main-Huron River Vision Task Force, which was created by city council in May 2012. It was tasked with developing a vision to create/complete/enhance pedestrian and bike connections from downtown Ann Arbor to Bandemer Park and Huron River Drive; increase public access to the riverside amenities of existing parks in the North Main–Huron River corridor; ease traffic congestion at Main and Depot streets at certain times of day; and recommend use of the DTE/MichCon property at Broadway. The task force also developed recommendations for the city-owned 721 North Main site. The group's final report was delivered to the city council in September 2013.
He was appointed to the city's public market advisory commission – which gives guidance regarding the farmers market – in April 2011 for a three=year term, then reappointed for a term from June 1, 2014 to May 30, 2017. He served as chair of that group during his tenure.
Santacroce was also appointed to the park advisory commission, filling a seat vacated by Julie Grand, for a term from November 7, 2013 to October 18, 2016. In August 2014, PAC members elected him chair for a one-year term starting Sept. 1.
