The Goleta City Council will hold a public hearing on the Hollister Avenue Old Town Interim Striping Project at its upcoming meeting on June 7 at 5:30 p . m . We hope you will join us for this important update on the future of this much - anticipated project which aims to create safe , convenient , and comfortable travel and access along Hollister Avenue in Old Town Goleta . The Council has several options to consider and appreciates your input .
The Interim Striping Project includes implementing parking and multi - modal improvements envisioned in the Hollister Avenue Complete Streets Corridor Plan Project , using low - cost materials ( e . g . , striping ) . These striping plans would reduce Hollister Avenue from four to two lanes to allow for improved bike lane and pedestrian movements , while enhancing parking .
The Hollister Avenue Old Town Interim Striping Project came about due to the long timeline and lack of funding needed to construct the Hollister Avenue Complete Streets Corridor Project . When completed , the Hollister Avenue Complete Streets Corridor Project will enhance safety , access and mobility for all users ( pedestrians , bicyclists , motorists and transit riders ) on Hollister Avenue between Fairview Avenue and State Route 217 .
Since the approval of the CIP project in January 2021 , staff has evaluated the two alternatives in the Hollister Avenue Completes Streets Corridor Plan Project as well as a third alternative that adds diagonal parking in the center of Hollister Avenue . Staff is working with a consultant on project conceptual design , environmental review , final design , and construction oversight .
At the public hearing , staff will present the three alternatives to the City Council and are recommending Alternative 3 . Pending City Council direction to continue with final design , the project could be ready to construct by the end of 2022 .
