The six-week installation process started with the Foothill Route along Cathedral Oaks Road. The signs will run from Elwood to just west of Carpinteria. We hope that Carpinteria will appreciate their usefulness and continue them through their city. Thanks go to Wilson Hubbell, Rob Dayton, Jack Biesek, Erik Justesen, Pat Maurice, Ralph Fertig , and others for all their work in making this happen. Ralph Fertig is representing the Bicycle Coalition, but needs help with ideas of what would work best to get tourists to bicycle around town.
Ideas are only part, however, budgetary costs are needed too.
Shoreline Drive changes The section of Shoreline Drive under reconsideration by the City extends from the Loma Alta intersection shown here back up the hill to Shoreline Park. Photo by Ralph Fertig. The City of Santa Barbara has been listening to residents of the Mesa, and they have decided to modify a section of Shoreline Drive to slow motorized traffic. Today, the segment has four traffic lanes, two bike lanes, and a landscaped median between La Marina Drive and Loma Alta Drive, below the City College West Campus. Turn one half of the road into a two-way section for motor vehicles and bikes.
