There has been a whole lot of pavement rehabilitation going on in the City of Goleta.  In 2025 more than 5 center lane miles of roadway were improved as part of the on-going Pavement Management Program. This is significantly more than the year prior. We are also pleased that due to budget availability the City is now able to add three more streets to the rehab repair list. The planned work is intended as a bridge treatment to stabilize current roadway conditions and extend the pavement’s service life. The streets include:

• Pacific Oaks Road: Hollister Avenue to Phelps Road
• Calle Real: Salisbury Avenue to Rochester Way
• Verdura Avenue: Carlo Drive to Vega Drive

While most of the major work scheduled on the City’s main roads for the 2025 Arterial Pavement Project is near completion, remaining tasks include slurry seal and striping on select roadways including:

• Hollister Avenue: Cathedral Oaks Drive to Elderberry Drive
• Storke Road: Hollister Avenue to Bollay Drive
• Hollister Avenue: Camino Real Marketplace to Storke Road

Crews will return to finish these tasks, though no major traffic impacts are expected.

Other updates:

• Tree replanting along Berkeley Road and Stow Canyon is scheduled to begin soon.

Residential Road Repair

As far as residential roads go, the resurfacing project in northeast Goleta completed its first phase in 2025. Phase two, which includes slurry seal treatment, is planned for spring 2026, weather permitting. Impacted residents will receive advance notifications, including mailed notices, before construction begins. Work is expected to continue into early summer 2026.

Finally, the City is in the process of designing the 2026 Arterial Pavement Project and the 2026 Residential Resurfacing Project.
