Isla Vista Community Services District (IVCSD) is hosting a Parking & Transportation Town Hall, 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, May 15 at Isla Vista Community Center, 970 Embarcadero del Mar, Ste. 101.

The Town Hall will focus on solutions to the problems residents face in everyday transportation and mobility experiences. Attendees can expect dinner, Spanish interpretation services, childcare, and raffle prizes provided by IVCSD. 

Over the past two years, IVCSD has met with residents, businesses, UCSB faculty and staff, property providers, government entities, service providers, and visitors at various events to gather feedback on what challenges they face getting around Isla Vista.

From the comments, a list of policy and infrastructure improvements has been developed. The Town Hall offers the community a last chance to weigh in before implementation.

The list of recommended projects presented at the Town Hall has been crafted based on community feedback, collision and safety data, and recommendations from traffic engineers at Dixon Resources Unlimited and the County of Santa Barbara’s Public Works Department.

To attend the Town Hall, complete the RSVP form in English here or in Spanish here. For those unable to attend, IVCSD welcomes participation in Focus Groups.
