Work continues on the east side of
Storke. They are altering the signal median island and widening
northbound Storke to create a wider transition lane for vehicles turning right
onto northbound Storke. In addition, modifications to the storm drains
will be constructed. Traffic control will remain in place for the next
three weeks while these changes are made. During the week
(Monday-Thursday), crews will be working day and night shifts to shorten the duration of the inconvenience to motorists, cyclists and
pedestrians. On Fridays, crews will only work the day shift.
Once these activities are completed, the signal median island
and the traffic signals will need to be modified. This work will be done
during the evening hours to minimize traffic impacts.
Please use Los Carneros or Cathedral Oaks/Hollister in order to
reduce the traffic volumes through the construction area.
There are six improvement projects planned for the Storke/Hollister
intersection. Some of these improvements are paid for through by the developers
through developer fees and others through the Goleta Transportation Improvement
Program (GTIP) fees. You can read more about these projects here. The projects are being sequenced to
minimize the public impact and decrease the duration of the construction.
We appreciate your patience as we work to complete these needed
improvements.
