Santa Barbara City Council Creates State Street Master Plan
The Santa Barbara City Council has voted 7-0 to create a master plan for State Street and established a committee to oversee it. State Street, a hallmark of downtown Santa Barbara, has undergone many changes during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the question of where it will head next is on many people’s minds. The establishment of a committee and master plan is a large step towards the future of State Street.
“I am just so proud to be at this point when we are really considering a master planning effort...We have been making really bold plans for our city, and plans for revitalizing De la Guerra Plaza, Library Plaza, we’re contemplating the long-term creation of a pedestrian promenade, we’re seeing changes in the business community and property owners downtown.”
