These small roundabouts are dangerous and poorly thought out, especially with freeway offramp traffic. Its going to change the charm of Coast Village for sure — and we'll all miss the tall trees. I wonder how CalTrans plans to support the illustrations of plants that require far more water — oh that's right — it'll just become mulch and dusty plans that never really grow. Yuck. Not much we can do about, other than fight the bad roundabout design (study them in Europe, please) and take photos of when Montecito had trees.
Roundabouts prevent fatal and serious injury crashes. Pedestrian crosswalks do not.
Could not agree more.
Hazard pay for certain workers? Postal, restaurant, road crews....? Who hasn’t worked their ass off? Enough- open up let people work and pay their bills- stop rubbing it in my face that I am NOT ESSENTIAL
+1 to everything said here
Very very helpful! Thank you!
The renderings are nonsense. Just look at the roundabout at CVR & Hot Springs. As Paul Simon sang, "nothing but the dead & dying back in my little town." Most of the plants & trees are on life support, only the weeds survive.
I’ll miss the big trees so much. I couldn’t hate the textured sound walls more (already on display in Carpinteria), though I understand the surface design itself may help scatter sound and, hopefully, allows climbing vines to cling and cover ASAP.
A friend of mine lived in El Caserio many moons ago. Absolutely LOVE those little casitas.
Sad to see Tienda Ho go. The interior was always an adventure. It felt like you were making your way through a jungle to get to the $20 racks in back.
On Gutierrez, at Garden.
Afraid not, but thank you for guessing, too!
Near Channel Drive?
Nope, but thanks for guessing!
Next to tri county produce?
Greenhouse Milpas new location is I believe off Milpas behind 7-11 and Rusty Pizza in an old La Sumida Nusery location (lasumida.com/wordpress/history).
Love this feature ?
I love this walk but apparently have missed so much....must find that topiary menagerie!
Glad a coffee shop is going into the old Coffee Bean space. I always loved stopping by for a cuppa when I was coming back from Trader Jose's.
Interesting Indonesian food delivery. The photos are drool worthy.
Chapala was in escrow and now has fallen out. At least according to Redfin. Is the county having second thoughts?
Dalee Car wash on Cota street. Next To star rug cleaners
Afraid not....
220 w Montecito st. Self service Carwash?
Wow!!! Thank you for that information. If you hear anything please keep us posted our entire San Roque neighborhood is very excited about a new restaurant possibly coming in to this wonderful location. 5.5 million is a hefty price and I wouldn’t be surprised if the new owners paid cash.
According to Zillow, the property ("0 More Mesa") is still in escrow: Zillow Link. I'm afraid I have no way of finding out who the potential buyer is.
