The Holiday Tree Has Arrived Downtown Santa Barbara welcomed the arrival of the Downtown Holiday Tree on Tuesday, December 1st 2020, on the 1300 block of State Street right in time for the holiday season! The tree was delivered from a sustainable farm that plants four trees for every one they sell. Delivering the tree this year is the Presenting Sponsor, Consumer Fire Products, Inc. Downtown Santa Barbara would also like to thank the City of Santa Barbara’s Public Works Department for the Tree’s installation, located just north of the intersection of Victoria and State Street. We also want to thank Mike Dawson of the Big Red Crane Company for their support with tree installation. We invite you to come see the tree this December as well as visit the businesses on the 1300 block and throughout downtown for holiday shopping and festivities.

Future of Downtown State Street The City wants to hear from residents about what they envision for the future of Downtown State Street and has released an on-line survey in both English and Spanish. The survey will be open for the month of December. The survey is available at SantaBarbaraCA.gov/StateStreet. Additionally, Downtown Ambassadors will be conducting in person surveys on State Street and recording the responses on tablets. Examples of the questions that the community will be asked include: what can be improved on State Street, what issues should Council take into consideration and what would bring people downtown. The survey also asks residents what they hope State Street and downtown will be like in ten years and what they hope doesn’t change. “We are asking the community to tell us what they believe Downtown State Street should be like, and what experiences and activities they would like to see on State Street in the future” said Councilmember Meagan Harmon, Chair of the State Street Subcommittee. “We are excited about what State Street can be and what our residents have to say.” The community survey will be open all of December officially closing at midnight, Sunday, January 3, 2021. Staff will present the collective feedback to the State Street Subcommittee in January 2021. The subcommittee will be asked to create a vision statement based on the collective feedback received that defines the future of Downtown State Street for Council’s consideration. The vision statement will guide the decisions for the future of State Street.
