Future of State Street in Downtown Santa Barbara
Two organizations in Downtown Santa Barbara have launched petitions to gather community input on the future of State Street, specifically whether to keep it car-free or open it to one-way traffic.
The Downtown Santa Barbara Improvement Association (DSBIA) supports a one-way traffic configuration as part of a short-term plan, which includes retractable bollards for special events and separate spaces for pedestrians and cyclists.
