• The Council will discuss awarding a Professional Design Services Agreement with TDG Engineering, Inc. for Professional Services for the Vision Zero Action Plan. The City Council adopted a Vision Zero approach in Goleta at the February 20, 2024, City Council meeting, making Goleta a Vision Zero City. Vision Zero is founded on the principle that serious injury and fatal traffic collisions are preventable, and that no loss of life or serious injury on the transportation system is acceptable. The City has a Capital Improvement Program Project to prepare and implement the Vision Zero Plan. The City received a grant from the Federal Highway Administration Safe Streets For All for its Vision Zero Plan. This Project is the first phase of the Plan.
