Carpinteria inches closer to permanent dog park following Planning Commission approval

Plans for the long-awaited permanent version of the Monte Vista Dog Park were unanimously approved by the Carpinteria Planning Commission at the commission’s Nov. 2 meeting. The project entails replacing the temporary fencing with 5-foot-tall, black powder-coated aluminum fencing around the 15,000-square-foot park. The fence would include a puppy picket near the bottom of the fence, Planner Megan Musolf said, which keeps smaller dogs from slipping through the fence or digging under it.

Santa Barbara’s Future Belongs to All of Us

I grew up in Santa Barbara, raised by two English teachers who taught me that every story matters. So, when I think about what a city should be, I think about our public library. It is one of the few places in town that truly belongs to everyone. It doesn’t matter what you earn, where you’re from, or whether you rent or own, because everyone walks through the same door and gets the same welcome. That is the kind of city I want Santa Barbara to be, and it is how I will run City Hall.
