The Santa Claus Lane Bikeway will temporarily open on Friday, June 30, prior to the 4th of July weekend.
The bikeway between Carpinteria Avenue and Santa Claus Lane will remain open until after Labor Day weekend. After that, the bikeway will close for the final installation of the barrier rail. Temporary railing is in place while the project awaits final materials.
According to a press release, the project team is eager for cyclists and pedestrians to enjoy the new bikeway as soon as possible.
The Class I bikeway and multipurpose path connects Santa Claus Lane to Carpinteria Avenue. This closes a gap in the California Coastal Trail between Sand Point Road and Carpinteria Avenue.
As part of the bikeway project, the intersection at Carpinteria Avenue and Estero Street has been updated with new crosswalks, signage, curbs and gutters, and bike lanes. At the western end of the project, a new vehicular turnaround has been built at the end of Santa Claus Lane.
The bikeway is being built in coordination with the Highway 101: Padaro project.

Great News! I’ve been looking forward to its opening. I was down there this morning, and it looked close to being complete.
@ Caltrans – just get the damn freeway open again. You’re slower than F—k. Unacceptable.
I’m with basicin805!!
Unacceptable!
Curious who paid off the city to make a bike path completion more important than a freeway completion.
