Granite Construction has nearly completed the concrete hardscape work, including sidewalk, access ramps, cross gutters, and alley entrances on both sides of Mission Street. This past weekend, Granite finished pouring the access ramp at the northwest corner of Bath and Mission and at the northeast corner of Castillo and Mission.

This week, Granite plans to install the light pole foundations along Mission Street. Afterward, the Gas Company will perform their line relocation work at Mission and De La Vina. Once the Gas Company completes their relocation, Granite will complete the remaining hardscape improvements, including the relocation of an existing storm drain at Mission and De La Vina.

The Mission Street Paving Project is still on schedule to be completed in mid-September. To receive project updates, please subscribe on the project website: www.SantaBarbaraCA.gov/MissionStreetPaving

With multiple infrastructure projects underway on roads throughout the City, motorists should remember to "slow for the cone zone." While the construction work can sometimes present an inconvenience, it also provides for improved infrastructure, including better street pavement.

Road repair work on Los Olivos Street, part of the larger Mission Street Pavement Maintenance Project, will begin construction on August 6. Granite Construction will saw-cut existing concrete and construct two ADA sidewalk access ramps at the crosswalk just east of the Old Mission. Concrete work only will be performed at this time. Granite will return in late September to perform the asphalt grind and overlay.
