Both projects are adjacent to Highway 101 and are in conjunction with proposed improvements to the area. 

Planners say the roundabouts aim to improve traffic flow and safety for drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians. 

The county and city of Santa Barbara will hold an informational meeting and open house about the project Wednesday evening. 

Locals are invited to speak up about any comments or concerns relating to the project. 

The meeting will be held at the Chase Palm Park Center at 236 E. Cabrillo Blvd. at 5:30 p.m.
