Charge to the Highway 217 Review Committee
The Highway 217 Review Committee was formed following broad consultation. It is composed of faculty, staff, students, and administrative representation.The charge of the committee is to study the potential effects of the County's plans for Goleta Old Town, particularly modifications to Highway 217,on UCSB; to work with local government agencies and community groups to ensure that the University's and community's interests coincide; and to solicit input from and communicate with all campus constituencies, including students, staff, faculty, and administrators, on the impacts of the proposed project. The Committee will engage consultants to examine the potential impacts of the Goleta Old Town Revitalization Plan on traffic patterns and the University's connectivity to neighboring towns and cities, as well as consider alternatives to the proposed plan. The Committee will use this information to advise the Chancellor and our campus.
