The striping portion of the Hollister Avenue Interim Striping Project is scheduled to begin during the overnight hours, 8 p.m.-6 a.m. Thursday, July 11.

Crews will stripe Hollister Avenue from Fairview Avenue to Kinman Avenue from the two-vehicle lane in each direction to one vehicle lane in each direction.

If all goes according to schedule, the public can expect to experience the new traffic pattern as soon as Friday morning, July 12.

Crews will also be striping the new painted median and back-in, angled 90-minute parking along the north side of Hollister Avenue and installing new parking signs.

Work is anticipated to be completed next week.

As a reminder, Old Town is open for business during construction. Public parking is available for free at three designated public parking lots: Community West Bank (corner of Pine and Hollister avenues), Orange Avenue Lot, and Carson Street (between Orange and Fairview avenues).  
 
When the project is finished, there will be increased parking spaces. To prepare for the new back-in, angled parking, watch this short video with simple steps on how to reverse, angle park: https://youtu.be/yBpYQpAaNlc.
 
Schedule and specific activities are subject to change, the city said.
 
The Hollister Avenue Interim Striping Project is part of the city’s largest capital improvement project, Project Connect, which broke ground in March 2024.
