The City of Santa Barbara is hosting a series of meetings this week to share updates with community members on an upcoming transportation plan.
The Westside and Lower West Neighborhoods Transportation Plan aims to create safe pedestrian and bicycle routes to schools, parks and other community facilities. At this week's meetings, community members can view updated plans and ask any questions.
A virtual meeting is taking place today, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., while an in-person meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Jun. 18, at La Cumbre Junior High School.
Some of the project's safety enhancements include protected bike paths, new crosswalks and corridor lighting. Construction is expected to begin in 2027. For more information, please visit the city's official website.
