Goleta’s Project Disconnect
I have worked in Old Town Goleta for more than 45 years. The lack of parking in Old Town is a longtime problem that merchants have always had to deal with, but now we face a much more daunting problem caused by the City of Goleta’s poor planning. The city’s plan to narrow Hollister to one lane in each direction just to create a few new parking spaces is a wrong turn that could result in a much more dangerous situation for bikers, pedestrians, and merchants. The city insists on reminding us that it is just an “Interim Striping Project,” temporarily installed to see if it works. But this multi-million-dollar experiment will take several years. And it will be paid for by the people being used as lab rats.
