SANTA BARBARA, CA - Join the City in celebrating the completion of the Montecito Street Bridge and learn more about other neighborhood improvements in the Eastside Neighborhood at a ribbon-cutting ceremony to be held on the bridge on Thursday, April 25 at 10 a.m.
After 11 months of construction, the Montecito Street Bridge, located at the intersection of E. Yanonali and E. Montecito Streets, adjacent to N. Salinas Street, is now open.
The $5.7 million Montecito-Yanonali Street Bridge Replacement and Sidewalk Infill Project improves pedestrian access, traffic safety, and safety when crossing Sycamore Creek. This project includes replacement of the existing bridge, installation of new sidewalks on Montecito Street and along Salinas Street between Mason and Clifton Streets, and new lighting. The project implements elements of the City’s adopted Pedestrian Master Plan and Bicycle Master Plan, encouraging more people to walk and ride bicycles.
This project is one of several infrastructure projects in the Eastside Neighborhood made possible by Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant funds. The Safe Routes to Schools Carpinteria at Voluntario Pedestrian Improvements, also funded by an ATP grant, are scheduled for completion at the end of April and include lighting and curb work. This project will also increase safety for pedestrians, particularly students traveling to and from Franklin Elementary School.
More improvements are underway in the Eastside Neighborhood. At the ribbon-cutting, learn more about the upcoming ground-breaking of the Quinientos Street Bridge Replacement, which is scheduled to begin in late April.
