Corridor Improv: De La Guerra Plaza Revitalization Project Description:

De La Guerra Plaza celebrates and honors the historic heart of our City and provides the flexibility to serve our community’s diverse social, cultural, historic, economic and environmental vitality. Revitalizing the Plaza will give this important space an opportunity to once again function as a prominent public square and regain central focus as the heart of downtown Santa Barbara. A revitalized Plaza will involve expanding the available space by making structural and aesthetic improvements to better serve the community’s current arts and cultural events, such as Old Spanish Days. It will improve accommodations for future activities, including events within the food industry and a wider range of arts, cultural, and musical events.

Capital Costs:

Status:

The Plaza Revitalization Advisory Committee began meeting in 2019 and met 14 times through 2022 to help guide staff and the design team to bring together the many ideas for this Plaza, while tying in the historically significant influences surrounding it and creating a space that will facilitate events and activities. The Advisory Committee was made up of two members from each of the following: City Council, Historic Landmarks Commission (HLC), Planning Commission, and Parks & Recreation Commission. Additionally, the Executive Director of the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation is in the committee. The concept plan was reviewed multiple times by HLC and was developed to a point of comfort for a Planning Application to be submitted to Community Development for review. The Application was deemed complete, and the Project is currently in the middle of an Environmental Impact Report which will need to be completed prior to further design review by HLC, at which time the Public will be able to provide additional feedback. This public engagement and review will culminate in receiving Project Design Approval.

Construction Drawings and Building Permit submittal will follow, along with the Phase III Archaeology work at the Project site. Funding for this project will be a combination of sources: from Measure C, from community donations through the Santa Barbara Foundation, and other funding sources to lessen the burden on Measure C funding. A construction estimate based on the concept plan estimated the construction will cost approximately $16M.

Corridor Improv: Las Positas Active Trans. Improv. Study Description:

The Las Positas Active Transportation Improvement Study includes improvements for pedestrian and vehicle access along Las Positas Road between State Street and McCaw Road. Potential projects include adding a sidewalk along Las Positas Road, and changes in traffic control and intersection alignment at the McCaw/Las Positas Intersection.

Community outreach indicated a desire to have a longer-range plan that looked at the entire corridor.

There are limited crossing opportunities across Las Positas Road in the vicinity of the Samarkand neighborhood to get to Loreto Plaza or other destinations in the vicinity of Upper State Street. Sidewalk on the east side of Las Positas Road terminates just north of Stanley Drive and would be very expensive to extend to State Street. Grant funding was received to install a new crossing at the intersection of Las Positas Road and Stanley Drive, providing a connection to the west side of Las Positas Road where existing sidewalk and path continue to Upper State Street. Construction completion is anticipated in fall/winter 2024.

Overall, this improvement would provide enhanced pedestrian connectivity for the Samarkand neighborhood to nearby businesses and amenities. The effort will be phased.

Specific Plans or Policies Relating to this Project:

This sidewalk is a high priority sidewalk based on the Council Adopted Criteria for the Sidewalk Infill Program, but costs prohibit its construction through that program.

Capital Costs:

Status:

This study effort has not yet commenced due to lack of funding. Community outreach indicated a desire to have a longer-range plan that looked at the entire corridor.

From the freeway to State Street, it will be analyzed and constructed in phases pending grant outcomes. Study is anticipated to cost $500,000. Construction costs will depend on features supported by the community.

Corridor Improv: Milpas/101 Operational Improvments
Description:

The Milpas Street at U.S. Highway 101 Operational Improvements Project is critical to the success and safe operation of the U.S. Highway 101 Widening Project (HOV Project) and will address expected traffic impacts from the HOV Project. This Project will improve traffic operations along Milpas Street between the U.S. Highway 101 southbound on- and off-ramps and will include the following improvements:
- Widening Milpas Street at the northeast corner of the intersection of Milpas and Hutash Streets to provide space for a new dedicated southbound left-turn lane onto eastbound Hutash Street. This will allow U.S. Highway 101 on- and off-ramp traffic to move concurrently when there is no traffic queued in the new left turn lane;
- Traffic signal modifications at the intersection of Milpas and Hutash Streets to optimize signal phasing and reduce wait time at intersections;
- Extending the existing median south of the U.S. Highway 101 underpass to the intersection of Milpas and Cacique Streets to prohibit left-turns from southbound Milpas Street onto eastbound Cacique Street.

This will help prevent southbound off-ramp traffic from queueing onto southbound U.S. Highway 101.

Eastbound Cacique Street will have access from northbound Milpas Street via the hook off-ramp; and - Installation of an elevated bike lane along Milpas Street between Cacique and Hutash Streets. This facility was a community-requested safety need to separate cyclists from vehicles due to the high traffic volumes in this area.

Corridor Improv: Mission Canyon Corridor Improvements
Description:

The Mission Canyon Corridor Multimodal Improvements Project is a community generated project, which could include a pedestrian connection along the west side of Los Olivos Street and Mission Canyon Road, beginning at the Old Mission Santa Barbara steps, crossing Mission Creek, and traveling north to Foothill Road in Santa Barbara County, and intersection safety improvements.

A study and community outreach effort was completed in cooperation with Santa Barbara County. During these efforts, safety concerns were raised regarding the lack of pedestrian facilities between the Old Mission Santa Barbara and the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum. A community consensus emerged for the westerly pathway. City Council directed staff in February of 2015 to add this project to the CIP and work jointly with the County to fund it.

Specific Plans or Policies Relating to this Project:

Improving pedestrian access in and around the Mission by providing safe and attractive walking connections between the Mission, Rocky Nook Park, and the Natural History Museum is listed in the Circulation Element as Implementation Strategy 5.1.2.

Capital Costs:

Status:

City and County Staff completed a conceptual design in Fiscal Year 2013/2014. Staff submitted a joint application for an Active Transportation Program grant requesting funding for design and environmental approval. The grant proposal was not successful and, based on the project’s ranking, it is not anticipated to be successful in the foreseeable future. There was a separate effort to evaluate rehabilitation of the Mission Canyon Bridge that would also incorporate bicycle and pedestrian amenities into the bridge design. Council in August of 2021 directed staff to not proceed with the bridge rehabilitation and to focus on a freestanding pedestrian/bicycle bridge adjacent to the vehicle bridge. Council formed an ad hoc committee in 2022 but meetings have not commenced due to Council/staff priorities on other work efforts. $50,000 of funding has been set aside in FY26 from the Streets Fund to fund a facilitator for the Ad Hoc Committee process and community engagement. The pedestrian/bicycle bridge's concept design, environmental/technical review, final design, and construction is anticipated to cost $12M and there is no likely funding source identified at this time.

Drainage: Laguna Pump Station and Tide Gate Relocation Project Description:

The City of Santa Barbara’s Laguna Channel Pump Station (Pump Station) and Laguna Tide Gates (Tide Gates) are in need of relocation to successfully address sea-level rise and reduce the impacts of runoff flooding. The City needs to analyze alternatives, costs, and hydraulic benefits of potential sites for the Pump Station. Relocating the Pump Station and Tide Gates will allow for the restoration of the concrete channel to a more naturalized estuarine habitat. The project would include an alternatives analysis for the future tide gate and pump station relocation comparing several potential locations with a no-action alternative. The project would study applicable parameters such as acquisition cost, environmental factors, hydrological benefits, channel control forfeiture costs, ecological benefit, public engagement, storm frequency flooding prevention, and preliminary construction cost estimates. The project would consider the advantages and disadvantages of these parameters in accordance with predicted sea-level rise. Ultimately, these studies would inform a design and construction for the Pump Station and Tide Gates.

Specific Plans or Policies Relating to this Project:

Sea-Level Rise Adaptation Plan
Capital Costs:

Status:

The City has previously invested in science-based solutions that analyzed the impacts of sea-level rise on the Pump Station and Tide Gates, and would now like to fund the study that will lead to an informed, ecosystem-based protection and conservation solution to relocate the pump station and tide gates. The Project, when constructed, will protect California’s coast and ocean by restoring estuary and retreating critical infrastructure from rising sea levels. The combination of the prior City efforts involved collaboration with City Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Waterfront Departments with the adoption of the City of Santa Barbara Sea-Level Rise Adaptation Plan creates a strong foundation for the future of the Laguna Pump Station, associated estuary, and benefits the disadvantaged residents upstream.

Future grant funding will be sought for the alternatives analysis, followed by design and construction of the project.

Drainage: Pedregosa Area Storm Drain
Description:

The project is proposed to solve drainage problem along Pedregosa Street to De La Vina Street. The affected area is from Mission Creek to Sheridan Avenue.

Phase 1A consists of replacing the existing storm drain outlet from near the intersection of Castillo and Islay Streets to Mission Creek. This involves approximately 135 linear feet of culvert construction ranging from an 8-foot by 6-foot concrete box to 54-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe. Streets Operations repaired the invert of the storm drain in 2022.

Phase 1B consists of the design and construction of 1,335 linear feet of new drainage pipe from near the intersection of Pedregosa and Sheridan to the upstream end of Phase 1A at Castillo and Islay.

Additional phases will extend the storm drain pipe to the 1900 block of De La Vina Street.

Specific Plans or Policies Relating to this Project:

City Drainage Master Plan calls for a storm drain system with a 25-year design capacity. The County of Santa Barbara Local Hazard Mitigation Plan includes the Pedregosa Storm Drain project as FLD-4.

Capital Costs:

Status:

This project was originally planned as a cooperatively funded project of the County Flood Control and the City. Phase 1A was bid in June 2006, with an engineer's estimate of approximately $300,000. Only one bid was received, at nearly $500,000, and the project was not awarded. Drainage funds have since been used for other priorities. For Phase I, Public Works will pursue re-bidding this project in the event that grant funding or a cost sharing agreement with County Flood Control can be secured to cover 50% of the cost for construction. Phase 1B will be added to the CIP following completion of Phase 1A.

Maintenance: Pavement Maintenance (Annual)
Description:

The project is for the annual street pavement maintenance needs thourught the City. The City's roadway network consists of 256 centerline miles. Work under this project includes a varierty of maintenance activities ranging from pothole repairs and sealing of cracks up to complete reconstruction. Methods are selected based on a varitey of factors including traffic volumes, as appropriate to maintain an acceptable driving surface.

Funding for this project comes from a variety of sources including Measure A, Utility User's Tax, State Gas Taxes, Measure A, Senate Bill 1 (SB1) funds, the City’s annual allotment of Local Surface Transportation Program (LSTP) funds.

In an effort to eliminate all serious and fatal traffic collisions on City streets, this project incorporates the core principles of Vision Zero to increase safety, health, and equitable mobility for all.

Specific Plans or Policies Relating to this Project:

Council goal is to maintain City pavements at an average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of 70 or higher. Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) 34 PCI goal is a minimum of 60.

Capital Costs:

Status:

The City's average PCI as of January 1, 2015 was 67. Recent budget scenarios that calculated a ratio between the net present cost of annual maintenance to future PCI resulted in a recommenation to fund the program at $25M for the next 8 years and then $10M for the following 12 years. This approach produces the best overall result for the City at the lowest cost. Under this recommended funding scenario, the average City PCI would reach 78 after year 8.

Pedestrian Enhancement: Sidewalk Access Ramps (Annual)
Description:

This annual program is used to accompany the Pavement Maintenance Program. Currently, ADA requires that any access ramp adjacent to a proposed overlay street must be upgraded to meet current standards. The access ramps will be constructed in accordance with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and per City Standard Details. The ramp style will vary depending on the location of the ramp.

Without access ramps, people with disabilities and families pushing strollers are either forced to walk into the street until there is a curb cut in the sidewalk to walk or ride up onto, or they must navigate the curb, which is not always easy to do and can be impossible depending on the disability level.

Specific Plans or Policies Relating to this Project:

The City of Santa Barbara ADA Transition Plan, Chapter 5 - Public Right-of-Way states that, "Public Works installs curb ramps to provide equal accessibility on public rights-of-way to users of the facilities in compliance with the Codes and Regulations of California Government Code 4450, California Building Code Title-24, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 and the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) Title II and Title III updated standards. Also, the City's Pedestrian Master Plan includes guidelines for street corners (Strategy 4.1.3). The guidelines include recommendations for the appropriate style of ramps depending on location. The Public Works Department prioritizes locations based on proximity to medical facilities, schools, transit centers, public facilities, grocery stores, and community input.

Capital Costs:

Status:

There are 710 missing ramp locations remaining in the City. Measure C has allocated approximately $750,000 to address the need for access ramps, primarily as required due to road maintenance.

Pedestrian Enhancement: Sidewalk Infill (Annual)
Description:

The project is for sidewalk infill projects that fit within available funding and are likely to be funded through the Sidewalk Infill Program. Larger infill projects are listed separately in this CIP.

Specific Plans or Policies Relating to this Project:

A major objective of the City of Santa Barbara Pedestrian Master Plan (April 2006) is to expand sidewalks and increase walking for transportation and recreation, and to overcome gaps in sidewalks that inhibit walking. In 1998, the City Council adopted the updated Circulation Element of the General Plan that included establishment of an annual sidewalk expansion and improvement program to improve pedestrian access citywide. This Sidewalk Infill Program and the criteria used to establish sidewalk priorities were approved in February 1999, enabling the implementation of as many sidewalk projects each year as possible.

Capital Costs:

Status:

The City’s program includes seven specific criteria for prioritization as identified by the Circulation Element Implementation Committee and adopted by Council: (1) Potential sidewalk location along a school access route (SAR), (2) Location’s current use by pedestrians (that is, a beaten PATH), (3) Potential for sidewalk to lead to parks or recreation areas (PARK), (4) Short gap length of potential sidewalk (GAP), (5) Potential for location to link major destinations or neighborhoods (DEST), (6) Potential for location to increase access to transit (TRAN), and (7) Traffic volume adjacent to the gap (ADT). In FY 2014, the sidewalk inventory and sidewalk infill prioritization was mapped in GIS.

Streetlights: Citywide Street Light Improvements Maint. & Repair Description:

This is an annual program to fund the replacement of existing streetlights (as needed due to knockdowns) with City standard street light poles and fixtures. This project also funds repair and maintenance, including painting, of existing streetlights.

The project also includes ongoing upgrades to the City's 6.6 amp legacy lighting system. The 6.6 amp system is a high-voltage system, varying from several hundred volts to 20,000 volts. The system requires the assistance of Southern California Edison to disconnect the power in order to test and service the lighting.

The project is also an opportunity to install Light Emitting Diode (LED) street lighting systems that are an energy efficient alternative to the existing high pressure sodium (HPS) lighting provided by the existing

6.6 amp system. LEDs provide uniform light distribution, need less maintenance, and use less energy than HPS systems.

Specific Plans or Policies Relating to this Project:

It is a City goal to replace the outdated 6.6 amp circuits with an energy efficient (240 volt) system that will allow removal of expensive variable voltage transformers with standard electrical supplies. This will allow the city to reduce its cost for electricity, and the repairs to the electrical lighting system will be more typical for the electrician working on the system. Annual ongoing street lighting maintenance and repair.

Capital Costs:

Status:

All 6.6 amp circuits are old, and are in need of replacement. The 6.6 amp circuits are installed with streetlights in series and have a constant current and varying voltage. The technology is outdated from the parallel circuits that are more common in electrical work.

Andrée Clark Bird Refuge Water Quality and Habitat Restoration Description:

The Andrée Clark Bird Refuge is a 29-acre lake located at the east end of Santa Barbara. The lake is an historic salt marsh that was dredged in the late 1920's to provide a year-round water feature and improve habitat for open water bird species. Poor water quality conditions and strong odors at the lake have been problematic since the early 1930's. The goals of this project are to improve water quality, wildlife habitat (aquatic and avian), aesthetics, and reduce odors while maintaining current flood protection.

Lower Sycamore Creek and Estuary Restoration Project
Description:

This project consists of the comprehensive widening and restoration of Sycamore Creek and associated estuary spanning south from Highway 101 to the ocean to expand and improve habitat, raise flood capacities, and increase resilience from sea-level rise and other climate changes.

The planning phase of this project will provide analysis of alternatives to: widen the creek channel; lay back the banks of the creeks; restore the channel, banks, and estuary with native wetland and riparian vegetation; widen the span and capacity of four bridges in area; and complete needed right-of-way and parking modifications to Ninos Drive and Park Way to facilitate expansions of habitat area. Technical reports and feasibility analysis will be prepared that will include hydrologic, sediment, and wave uprush modeling factoring in sea-level rise; biological analysis with an emphasis on increasing habitat quantity and quality for endangered tidewater goby and steelhead, as well as other estuarine, riverine, and riparian species and minimizing habitat disruption during construction; traffic, pedestrian, and parking analysis for Ninos Drive and Park Way; and cost estimates, among other factors. Following preparation of technical reports and feasibility analysis, conceptual level plans (30% design) will be produced and environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act will be conducted (anticipated level of review a mitigated negative declaration). A robust public outreach process will occur as the draft feasibility analysis and plan is created and as part of CEQA environmental review. Environmental permitting will be conducted followed by completion of 100% final design drawings. The second phase of the project will include construction.

Interior Dredging
Description:

City of Santa Barbara Waterfront Department, annual maintenance dredging of the Santa Barbara Harbor.

Federal Channel Dredging has consistently been federally funded as an Army Corps of Engineers project and the Federal budget typically identifies $2.9M to $3.2M.

Although the dredging contract is fully funded by the Army Corps, Waterfront budgets $25,000 non-capital funds per year for additional services including a lobbying consultant and $350,000 for miscellaneous harbor dredging.

In addition, per our loan requirements for the rebuilding of Marina One, the Waterfront established a reserve fund specific to projects within the Waterfront and have accrued sufficient funds to cover the anticipated interior dredging costs.

Specific Plans or Policies Relating to this Project:

City of Santa Barbara Waterfront Department, annual maintenance dredging of the Santa Barbara Harbor is critical to maintaining safe operations for the harbor’s commercial activities including commercial fishing and cruise ships. Santa Barbara Harbor impedes the transport of sand downcoast resulting in shoaling of the Federal Channel and potential coastal erosion at several coastal communities. The Corps conducted comprehensive studies of the harbor and determined that annual dredging of the harbor was necessary to maintain navigability and nourish downcoast beaches preventing erosion. The Harbor supports the mission of the US Coast Guard and also provides a staging area, facilities and resources required for oil spill prevention and response. This project has consistently been listed in the President’s Annual Budget Request to Congress and for FY21 the President’s budget identifies $2,900,000 which is slightly lower than the capability of $3,100,000 expressed by the Corps for FY21.
