Final Paving Work in Old Town Goleta

Source: City of Goleta

The final asphalt grind and pavement overlay work for the City’s Old Town Sidewalk Improvement Project began [Monday], August 31, and will continue through September 3, 2020. Please see the photos above and below. We are pleased to report that the work is being done two and a half months ahead of schedule.

The contractor is scheduled to grind half the streets today, Monday, August 31, followed by the other half tomorrow, September 1, 2020. The contractor will then place the final pavement on half the streets starting Wednesday, September 2 followed by the second half on Thursday, September 3, 2020. The following figure shows the streets and the order of work – yellow first followed by green.

We know that parking will be limited during this time. However, as the grinding work is complete on streets, the parking will be re-opened to help alleviate the impact and disruption. The no parking restrictions will be back in effect in those areas two days following for the paving work. Please plan accordingly and we thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Upcoming Restriping Work

The contractor is also planning to paint the striping on the streets which is currently scheduled for September 8th.

Thank you for your continued patience and support as we construct the sidewalk, drainage, and roadway improvements in Old Town. The utilities – Southern California Edison, Cox Communications, and Frontier Communications – still need to relocate their poles and equipment in some of the project areas. The contractor will return in about a month to finish pouring the sidewalks in these utility areas. For questions, please contact sidewalks@cityofgoleta.org or call the Construction Inspector, Daniel Anderson, at 805.869.3727.
