Halloween brings more than costumes and candy, the extra visitors to Isla Vista can cause parking problems for residents. City staff has worked collaboratively with local residents and law enforcement to ease the impacts by implementing a successful parking permit program. In an effort to help alleviate the burden on affected neighborhoods, City Council has approved a temporary parking permit program for the fourth year in a row. The parking restrictions are for the Goleta neighborhoods closest to Isla Vista: University 1 and University 2 neighborhoods, including the Cannon Green Condominium complex. The boundaries are: Cannon Green Drive to the west, Hollister Avenue to the north, Storke Road to the east and Whittier Drive to the south. View the map at http://tinyurl.com/
Each household in the affected area will receive two permits in the mail by October 23. Permits will be needed for vehicles parked on the streets in this area between 7 p.m. on Friday, October 27 to 7 a.m. on Saturday, October 28 and 7 p.m. on Saturday, October 28 to 7 a.m. on Sunday, October 29. Parking restrictions are only in effect during the evening and overnight hours; daytime events at Girsh Park should not be impacted. Vehicles without permits will be cited and/or towed at the owner’s expense.
