“Old Orcutt Streets”

According to County documents, “The Public Works Department received several requests from the public, asking the County to install a post office drop box on Union Avenue in the Old Town Orcutt area of Santa Barbara County.  With the installation of the drop box, it became apparent that parking restrictions in the area were warranted to provide a safe manner in which to use the new drop box.”

In response, Public Works prepared two Resolutions establishing a No Parking Zone on Union Avenue on the side of the Post Office and a Disabled Persons Parking Zone on First Street in front of the Post Office based on safety, necessity, and community interest.

The No Parking Zone should address concerns over people parking their cars and walking to the drop box, which is unsafe for both motorists and pedestrians.  According to the County, the request for disabled parking was initiated by citizens of Old Town Orcutt and found warranted.

These changes will require a one-time cost of $1500 and has been budgeted by the County.
