Letter from the Executive Director
Paving the Way to Progress
The City of Santa Barbara and Coast Village Association are paving the way for a better district… literally!
Over the past eight years Montecito, and Coast Village Road have endured many challenges. We have experienced droughts, rain events, winds, the Thomas fire and the subsequent devastating debris flow, as well as the pandemic. As a result, the region’s roads and medians have deteriorated. We thank our residents, businesses, and property owners for the resilience and heart they have shown us throughout these years!
The Coast Village Improvement District was created in 2023 to enhance the districts’ beautification, safety, marketing, and maintenance needs, while working with the city of Santa Barbara, and other stakeholders towards our mission. Over the past year, we have been working diligently toward these goals. This year, we are moving forward with building new infrastructure for businesses, traffic, safety, and beautification of the physical road through a road paving, and commercial loading zone project.
“This project marks a significant stride towards our shared vision of a vibrant community and reflects our unwavering commitment to enhancing safety, accessibility, and the overall aesthetic appeal of our district.”
Residences and businesses alike are poised to benefit from the upcoming road paving of Coast Village Road, and a wave of positive changes to better the district. The plan is to start with curb and gutter work in the Spring and re-paving in the Fall, all to be completed in 2024. While adjustments may be necessary during construction, this endeavor promises enduring advantages for all. This project will cause a temporary disruption to businesses and the community. Efforts will be coordinated for minimal inconvenience, with work scheduled thoughtfully, and communication channels kept open.
The City of Santa Barbara will begin with upgrades to the curbs and gutters while adding loading zones for deliveries to alleviate the delivery trucks parking in the medians. This work will happen one median section at a time on Coast Village Road – beginning at the west end of the Coast Village Circle intersection, and ending at the east end of the Coast Village Circle intersection.
The targeted time frame is Spring of 2024, beginning March 25, 2024, and is planned to end in advance of the Memorial Day weekend. Each median will take up to two weeks, and work is planned from 7 a.m. – 5 p.m. The angled parking directly adjacent to the section where the work is taking place will be used for construction vehicles and materials during each section’s schedule. As a result, this parking will be unavailable and clearly marked “no parking”. Compliance will be key to the completion of this project in a timely manner.
Looking beyond the short-term adjustments, the loading zone and road paving project symbolizes a commitment to the mission of Coast Village Improvement District to better our community, and increase safety. Improved infrastructure not only facilitates smoother travel but also catalyzes economic growth while enhancing community vitality. Through this endeavor, we ask the community to embrace this as progress for fostering betterment, and laying the groundwork for beautification of the medians.
We appreciate your understanding and patience while we pave our way to a better Coast Village Road.
