The City of Goleta Public Works Department will be holding their annual National Public Works Week community event on Thursday, May 19th from 3pm – 6pm at the Camino Real Marketplace (7004 Market Place Dr.) in the amphitheater by the food court. Public Works Week will be celebrated May 15 – 21.

City staff will be available to answer questions and discuss programs and projects happening in Goleta.  Engineers and project managers will also be in attendance with the latest updates on capital improvement and environmental projects around Goleta.  Kids will love the educational activities, including a skid steer loader they can climb on.  There will also be cookies, lemonade and giveaways.

Residents are invited to come learn about the important role Public Works plays in the community and the impact it has on daily life.  Every time you travel on a city street, take a stroll on the sidewalk, or spend some time at one of the many parks and opens spaces in our City, you are surrounded by the services provided by the Public Works Department.  From constructing, cleaning, repairing, and maintaining city streets and sidewalks to creating and maintaining the urban forest, parks and open spaces, Public Works is all around you. Public Works also administers the Capital Improvement Program that creates needed infrastructure within the community.
