The seaside hamlet of Isla Vista is known as a place for good times and merriment, education and enlightment, but good urban planning? Come see the amazing transformation of Isla Vista as the "Loop" has turned into a pedestrian and bike-friendly, lushly landscaped urban center. Participants will be guided on the walking tour by Jeff Lindgren, the Santa Barbara Community Redevelopment Manager, who is responsible for making this happen. Overview of the Isla Vista improvements will begin at On the Side restaurant.

This event is free for the first 20 people who RSVP by 5 pm on Thursday, March 25 to info.apaca.cc@gmail.com

Note: Parking is available behind On the Side or in the County lot on Pardall/embarcadero del Mar.

Hosted by the California Chapter of the American Planning Association, Central Coast Section
