Document Description
The Santa Maria River Levee Trail is being proposed to meet County of Santa Barbara objectives. The proposed project consists of a 6.7-mile portion (“project site”) of the 17-mile Santa Maria River Levee System in unincorporated Santa Barbara County, between the cities of Santa Maria and Guadalupe. The purpose of the project is to expand and improve public access and provide an alternative east-west active transportation corridor for pedestrians and cyclists through the development of a portion of the existing Santa Maria River Levee System as directed by the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors and outlined in the 2022 Santa Maria River Levee Trail Study. The project would improve an informal trail in the existing right-of-way along the top of the levee and extend the existing Tom Urbanske Multi-Purpose Trail in the City of Santa Maria to the City of Guadalupe and would include to-be-determined design improvements.
