AI Contract Overview

The Cliff Drive Vision Zero Project is a safety initiative by the City of Santa Barbara designed to transform a high-speed urban highway into a neighborhood-serving street. The project involves the construction of a 3.1-mile separated bike path, 14 new crosswalks, four new high-visibility traffic signals, and safety enhancements at four existing crosswalks. Additional infrastructure includes pedestrian-activated rectangular rapid flashing beacons, refuge islands, curb extensions, lighting, and new bicycle parking. The work is located within the public right-of-way from Arroyo Burro Beach County Park to Castillo Street, including approximately 560 linear feet on Santa Barbara City College property. This project is a key component of the 30-mile regional Coastal Bike Route. Environmental and regulatory compliance is a primary focus, with the project operating under a CEQA Section 15301(c) exemption. Key requirements include adherence to Caltrans Standard Specifications, the Santa Barbara Municipal Code noise ordinance, and specific protections for archaeological and biological resources. The project includes a landscaping plan to remove 23 non-native trees and plant a minimum of 70 new street trees based on an approved master plan. Construction must also account for high fire hazard areas, with a mandate to cease activities on Red Flag Alert days, and maintain continuous public access to park areas through a traffic and pedestrian management plan.

Full Description

The Cliff Drive Vision Zero Project (Project) is a safety project on Cliff Drive from the Arroyo Burro Beach County Park to Castillo Street. Construction of a 3.1-mile-long path, 14 new crosswalks, safety enhancements at 4 existing crosswalks, curb extensions, lighting, pedestrian activated rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs), pedestrian refuge islands, 4 new traffic signals, and new bicycle parking. The Project is located in the Coastal Zone and within the public right-of-way (ROW), with the exception of approximately 560 combined linear feet (LF) of the path located on Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) property (West Campus: 185 LF. East Campus: 375 LF). The Project will address community needs to improve safety by transforming this high-speed urban highway (formerly State Route 225) into a neighborhood-serving street by providing safe, high-quality pedestrian and bike facilities to improve mobility and connectivity to schools, parks, neighborhood services, employment, and retail. The Project is part of the 30-mile long regional Coastal Bike Route (Ventura to University of California Santa Barbara). New traffic signal locations with high visibility crosswalks: Intersection of Cliff Drive and Camino Calma; Mid-block between Camino Calma and Meigs Road (within the commercial corridor); the SBCC West Campus entrance; and the SBCC East Campus entrance. New high visibility crosswalks and safety enhancements: Mesa Lane; Fellowship Road; Oliver Road; Camino Calma; Mid-block between Camino Calma and Meigs Road (within the commercial corridor); Salida Del Sol; Santa Cruz Boulevard; Terrace Road / San Rafael Avenue; La Marina Drive; Oceano Drive; SBCC West Campus; SBCC East Campus; and Rancheria Street. There are 322 existing street trees, comprised of 62 native and 260 non-native trees within the Project corridor. Of the 322 existing street trees within the Project corridor, a total of 23 non-native trees within the public ROW are proposed to be removed. It is a Project goal to design around and retain as many of the existing street trees as feasible within the Project corridor. The trees proposed for removal conflict with the proposed new path and sidewalk. 70 new street trees with be planted. The City Parks and Recreation Commission approved the proposed tree removals, planting 70 (minimum) new street trees, and approved a street tree master plan species designation list recommending eleven tree species for the Project corridor.
