Measure C requires an Annual Accountability Report showing how Measure C revenues from the prior year were used. Because Measure C revenues are not legally restricted, it is important that the community see that the City is meeting its commitment to use Measure C to address critical infrastructure needs.

As Santa Barbarans, we’re taking on a big challenge - the creation of a new police station. Our existing station is outdated, too small, and hasn’t been earthquake retrofitted. One of the first steps for a new station is selecting the location. We’ll review site considerations with City Council on Tuesday, September 17. Visit the project website to review all the site analysis documents and more.

Over the past three months, Public Works’ Streets crews have completed road repairs in crucial areas around the City. This includes a full-width repaving of streets next to the Santa Barbara Airport property at Moffett Place, Fowler Road, and Fairview Avenue. Crews also repaired and repaved the bike path around the Andrée Clark Bird Refuge. Extensive sidewalk repair was completed on Chapala Street and upper State Street, and crews responded to 81 requests from residents for pothole repair.

The highlight of this summer’s work is a comprehensive road repair project on Mission Street between the U.S. 101 and State Street, and Los Olivos Street in front of the Old Mission and across the Mission Canyon Bridge to the City limits. Dubbed the City’s “Mission Street: Possible,” the project began in early July and will last through September. Subscribe on the project webpage to receive emailed updates.
