Goleta adopts Measure A five‑year program, estimates $11 million local allocation
Summary
The council adopted the Measure A five‑year local program of projects (FY 2026–2031), estimating roughly $11 million in local Measure A funds for Goleta over five years and noting a strong emphasis on alternate transportation projects including the San Jose Creek multipurpose path.
The Goleta City Council on March 17 approved the city’s Measure A five‑year program of projects for fiscal years 2026–2031.
Public Works staff summarized the local allocation and major categories of projects funded by Measure A, including roadway resurfacing, traffic signal upgrades, drainage and the San Jose Creek multipurpose path. "Our estimates are approximately $11,000,000 over 5 years," Public Works staff said during the presentation.
Measure A requires a minimum 10% allocation for alternate transportation; staff reported the city’s program is projected to allocate roughly 60% of its available local funding to alternate‑transportation priorities (bike/ped/safe‑routes projects), primarily driven by the San Jose Creek project funding and associated grants.
Council voted unanimously to adopt the program. The San Jose Creek multipurpose path was highlighted as a major active project, with construction and mitigation work ongoing and an estimated completion in spring 2027.
Action: Council adopted a resolution approving the Measure A five‑year local program of projects.
