Here is an update on some of the bicycle projects the City is working on:

Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan

Thank you to the more than 1,600 people who completed our Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan (BPMP) survey! That is an incredible number of responses. An analysis of the survey results will be available at the end of April or early May. After the top locations of concern are determined from the survey responses, a community workshop will be held to gather public input on possible solutions for those areas.

Hollister Avenue Complete Streets

The first community workshop on the Hollister Avenue Complete Streets project will be April 13, 2017, from 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. at the Goleta Valley Community Center (5679 Hollister Avenue). The project is aimed at developing a plan that will:

• Make Old Town streets safer for all travel modes
• Reduce cut-through traffic through Old Town
• Provide safe and convenient connections to residents, employees, and visitors using all modes of transportation
• Improve the quality of life by making Hollister Avenue appealing to walk, cycle, drive, shop and dine

As we did for the Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan, we will have a survey for this project shortly and encourage everyone who lives, works or plays in Old Town to participate.
