City Preps for Fiesta

Jean Yamamura, Santa Barbara Independent

“Bicycle riders, food vendors, and cascarón waste come under special scrutiny this Fiesta. Parking rules on the street during the Fiesta parade, however, will relax in certain areas, as meter maids will give the 75- and 90-minute curb-parking zones in parts of downtown a break: Above the 101, parking for any length of time will be allowed on August 5 from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. up to Valerio Street and bordered by Bath and Laguna. Below the freeway, the zone goes to Cabrillo Boulevard and between Castillo and Garden. . .”
