Time is Running Out to Take Our Survey

Everyone who lives, works or plays in Old Town is encouraged to provide feedback on the Hollister Avenue Complete Streets project by taking our survey (available in English and Spanish). The survey will remain available through the end of May.

The Hollister Avenue Complete Streets project aims to improve the quality of life in Old Town by making Hollister Avenue appealing to walk, cycle, drive, shop and dine. Additional goals of the project are to:

  • Make Old Town street 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

More information on this project is available at www.goletacompletestreets.com.

You’re Invited to our Upcoming Workshop

The Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan is in full swing. Feedback that has been collected through the survey, workshops and consultant research is currently being analyzed and a workshop will be held June 21 from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. at the Goleta Valley Community Center (5679 Hollister Avenue) where the results will be presented. The workshop is also an opportunity for the City to get feedback on design alternatives and treatments. Attendees will also learn about the upcoming Old Town Sidewalk Infill Project.
