Santa Barbara Junior High Multiuse Path Nears Completion
Project enhancements include:
- 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.
Traffic impacts will be minimal throughout the final stages of construction. Work will occur Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
