What They're Saying

"Parklets and the promenade — though far from perfect in their current incarnation — have injected an element of electricity into the Frankenstein Monster of State Street that would otherwise have lain dormant and bereft of pulse." — From the Independent's Nick Welsh in "Wake Up, Santa Barbarans: Which Way State Street?"

"Of all the SoCal streets transformed during the pandemic, perhaps none was altered as dramatically — or invitingly — as Santa Barbara's State Street. A 10-block stretch in the heart of downtown has been closed to cars since 2020, and plans are underway to make the change permanent. The result? The mile-long, newly dubbed State Street Promenade feels like Santa Barbara's answer to Barcelona's La Rambla: a lively pedestrian thoroughfare with shops, restaurants, and outdoor dining." — AAA Westways magazine

"People do not like looking at cars." — Scientific American

"Santa Barbara Facing a Historic Design Opportunity" — Architect Anthony Grumbine in Noozhawk

“Listen, imagine we were back a hundred years ago after the great earthquake and you were part of the team that had to rebuild Santa Barbara. Are you going to be the one saying, ‘No, let’s keep it the way it was’? Or are you going to be the one saying, ‘We got to change this for the better, not for us, but for future generations’?” — City Councilmember Oscar Gutierrez in the Independent
