The contractor will then place the final pavement on half the streets starting Wednesday, September 2 followed by the second half on Thursday, September 3, 2020.

We know that parking will be limited during this time. However, as the grinding work is complete on streets, the parking will be re-opened to help alleviate the impact and disruption. The no parking restrictions will be back in effect in those areas two days following for the paving work. Please plan accordingly and we thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Upcoming Restriping Work
The contractor is also planning to paint the striping on the streets which is currently scheduled for September 8th.

Thank you for your continued patience and support as we construct the sidewalk, drainage, and roadway improvements in Old Town. The utilities – Southern California Edison, Cox Communications, and Frontier Communications – still need to relocate their poles and equipment in some of the project areas. The contractor will return in about a month to finish pouring the sidewalks in these utility areas. For questions, please contact sidewalks@cityofgoleta.org or call the Construction Inspector, Daniel Anderson, at 805.869.3727.
