The City of Goleta is proud to announce the successful completion of both the 2025 Arterial Pavement Project and the 2025 Residential Resurfacing Project. Both projects are now 100% complete, delivering significant improvements to the City’s roadway network and enhancing safety for all who travel our streets.
- 100% project completion
- 2+ centerline miles improved
- 23+ streets rehabilitated
- 40+ ADA curb ramps upgraded
What Was Accomplished
Together, the two projects rehabilitated six individual arterial streets and over 18 residential streets, totaling more than 5.2 centerline miles of improvements citywide. Work included replacing pavement with hot mix asphalt, slurry seal, and microsurfacing treatments, upgrading American with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant curb ramps, installation of four new radar speed feedback signs, and updating traffic striping and markings throughout Goleta.
Vision Zero Safety Improvements
2025 Arterial Pavement Project incorporated Vision Zero elements to improve safety for all road users:
- Green shared lane markings (sharrows) clarify shared roadway use by people driving and bicycling.
- Narrowed travel lanes support traffic calming without removing on-street parking.
- Over 40 ADA curb ramp upgrades created safer routes of travel at intersections.
Looking Ahead: 2026 Pavement Projects
The City is currently in the design phase for the 2026 Arterial Pavement Project and the 2026 Residential Resurfacing Project, with construction anticipated to begin in early spring 2027 and late spring 2027, respectively. Residents will receive advance notifications — including mailed notices — before any construction begins. Please note that schedules may be adjusted due to material availability, weather, or equipment conditions.
Proposed Five-Year Pavement Plan
The City has developed a proposed Five-Year Pavement Plan as a planning tool to prioritize roadway maintenance and rehabilitation, click here to view map. This five-year pavement plan is for planning purposes only and may change based on funding, staffing, and contractor availability.
Thank you for your patience during the 2025 Pavement Projects. The City of Goleta Public Works Department remains committed to improving and restoring pavement throughout our community.
