I feel like comments weren’t enabled on the last “Where in Santa Barbara?” post, because I was going to make a guess. I probably should have emailed you.
Same thing with stop lights...why don't people pull up to the car in front of them? Especially at lights where the line for the red light interferes with folks moving through an intersection! Perfet example is getting off the 101 North at Carrillo to make a left to head toward the Mesa. Folks will be 10' behind the car in front of them.
That pink tape is from Nine Trails and can be removed. There may be blue tape on the trails as well.
Harbor Restaurant and a different restaurant called Harbor Tavern - definitely will showing up at the wrong place. Lol
Awesome news on the growing TOMATOMANIA, poor location- the parking along Santa Barbara Ave is a accident waiting to happen…as a main artery for Valley commuters coming off the 154 and heading towards Solvang, not to mention the neighbors who have to deal with the weekly bombardment of hungry bakery supporters. The SY Forage Florals location was a better option with a central location/access/parking. Let me say that while not a option for this event, please check out Manzanita Nursery on Ballard Canyon - great native options!
Hi! Tape on trails like the type shown can sometimes be markers for scientists’ test sites (surveys for plant growth, for example) so it is probably best to let them be, my two cents.
Well, you, know...the medication hasn't been approved yet
A tavern-style restaurant? It sounds out of place in the harbor.
It was tax dollars that paid for the widening project anyway. At least a toll would more fairly source funding from those who use the lanes. Like how a gas tax is paid only when you fill up.
It can do both - raise revenue for infrastructure investments & incentivize carpooling.
Wow, have to bring him up when talking about a local freeway widening issue, living rent free in there isn't he?
Toll lanes for single drivers are just a way to let rich people get by traffic. The incentive should be to carpool and not for one to buy their way to bypass everyone else.
100%. Soon as the 3 lanes are completed, CT will start over, adding #4. Americans continue to repeat their stupid mistakes over and over again.
That's a design feature for people on the "Staircase Diet." Every time the resident wants a snack, they see the stairs and decide that they are really not that hungry after all.
If you go to Google maps and search for dump stations, you'll see there's far more more than one along the coast here.
Have you ever had to manage your gas tank on a road trip? It's that, in reverse. If you're showing up at a dry campsite, you make sure you dump your tanks first. If your tanks fill up, you drive and dump them. It's really not hard.
I personally don't have an issue with stairs (yet), but I try to look at houses the way a prospective buyer might—many of whom are older than me and possibly more interested in single-level living. Listings tend not to make a big deal of stairs, and often there are properties where stairs are where you wouldn't necessarily expect them (e.g., to reach the kitchen).
Very thoughtful remarks. Good suggestions!
Car pool lanes are only used during early a.m. and late afternoon rush hours. The rest of the time it is an additional lane & available to use.
We do not need toll roads in SB! Just another tax.....more revenue for what???? Additional miss use of funds? Add to already inflated salaries and pensions!
When you're standing near the cash register at Home Depot and some twenty-something local ganja enthusiast (which means an SB resident) asks if you're "in line"?
That means your perception skills are terrible.
It's a uniquely SB form of entitle passive-aggression.
"Yeah, I'm in line. It looks like you have terrible situational awareness."
According to statistics (before Donald Trump’s lies became the American way) the widening of a freeway encourages traffic. In 5-7 years after completion of widening, congestion will return and surpass previous levels of congestion.
Regarding the “dry” rv camping that is now under review, the elephant in the (bath)room has to do with any generated waste from RVs during/after overnight stays. The only location to legally dump in southern Santa Barbara County is at Marborg. They are closed weekends and have very restricted hours M-F.. The dump site is also frequently closed, even with these limited, weekday hours.
It drives me crazy how far apart people in Santa Barbara stand inline. Third Window is the worst. Especially on a cold morning. Covid is over folks. Get a grip.
If someone asks you “Are you in line?”, you are bad at standing in line.
100% agree about the carpool lane. I don’t think the carpool lane really increases more ride sharing. It seems really dumb to build a lane and keep it empty during the am commute, while the other two lanes move slowly. This might work in bigger cities but here on my morning commute from Carpinteria to Santa Barbara all i see is an empty third lane.
Was it necessary for some reason to block the southbound off-ramp at Los Patos Way so soon? A lot of cars use the current southbound offramp to Cabrillo Blvd-Hot Springs Road. If all of these vehicles add on to the vehicles previously using the Olive Mill [Spring Road] exit, there may be a logjam at the Spring Road-Olive Mill intersection, with cars backed up onto 101.
