Doin’ It Right

Last week a crew from Goleta’s busy Public Works Department established a much-needed crosswalk at Girsh Park along speeder-plagued Pacific Oaks. This wasn’t a huge project, but it means a lot to many.
Scores of youngsters and their families sometimes risk life and limb crossing Pacific Oaks with their gear to participate in year-round sports and other activities at Girsh Park.
So here’s a shout out of thanks to Mayor Paula Perotte, City Councilmember Stuart Kasdin, City Manager Robert Nisbet and especially Asst. Public Works Director Nina Buelna for recognizing a public safety need and shepherding this vital crosswalk and prominent signage into reality.
Goleta is a young city learning how to do it right.
