Anacapa Street Gridlock Expected

If the good weather holds, city street crews will be closing Anacapa Street between Anapamu and Carrillo streets for two days during the week of April 2. On one of those days, no cross traffic at Figueroa Street will be allowed as the west side of the intersection will be unde rgoing repairs. One lane on Anacapa will remain open at all times, as will the sidewalks and city parking areas. Gridlock is expected as the one-way thoroughfare is one of downtown Santa Barbara’s busiest, used for the courthouses, library, banks, police station, and post office. Alternative routes are advised.
