Santa Barbara Junior High Multiuse Path Completed
The City of Santa Barbara is excited to announce the completion of the new Santa Barbara Junior High School Multiuse Path Project. The Project is primarily funded by Measure A, Santa Barbara County’s transportation sales tax, through the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program. Project enhancements included:
• Widening the sidewalk at the school’s main entrance, creating a twelve-foot-wide multiuse path for cyclists and pedestrians.
• Providing a bypass for cyclists to avoid school drop-off and pick-up activity, closing the 450-foot bike infrastructure gap along Cota Street between Alisos and Chapala Streets.
• Installing new street lighting to improve nighttime visibility of the roadway and pathway.
• Preserving the mature street trees in the parkway.
Please view SBCAG’s Measure A Regional Safe Routes to School Program website to see the funded SR2S projects in the South Coast: SBCAG.org/Project/Regional-Safe-Routes-to-School-Program/
