The City’s Old Town Open for Business campaign continues. Every day on our social media platforms (Facebook, X [formerly Twitter], and Instagram) we are highlighting a business in Old Town. We encourage you to look daily and see if we are featuring one of your favorites, or maybe you will discover an awesome business you have never heard of before! If you know of an Old Town business that you recommend we highlight, please let us know by sending an e-mail to PIO@cityofgoleta.org. Thank for supporting our wonderful Old Town businesses during Project Connect construction. They are open and ready to serve you!  Watch our Old Town Open for Business video promo here in English and here in Spanish.

Don’t let the construction discourage you from coming down to Old Town. Public parking is available for free at three designated public parking lots: Community West Bank (corner of Pine Avenue and Hollister Avenue), Orange Avenue Lot, and Carson Street (between Orange Avenue and Fairview Avenue).  

Project Connect is the largest capital improvement project in the history of the City. The multi-year project will enhance pedestrian access and safety, improve road conditions and build critical linkage throughout Goleta while increasing stormwater flow capacity in San Jose Creek under Hollister Bridge.

To stay updated on project milestones, traffic impacts, and other important Project Connect information, go to the City’s website: www.CityofGoleta.org/ProjectConnect.

Thanks for doing your part to keep Old Town thriving while we work to build a better future for Goleta.
