Summerland Citizen’s Association Board of Directors Report

Summerland Citizens Association BOD (SCABOD) is happy to report that on October 24, CalTrans successfully hit their target date for opening the Evans 101 Northbound onramp. During onramp closure, MTD was forced to make adjustments for the Line 20 bus in Summerland, which meant additional efforts had to be made by the passengers. Some of the workers at CalTrans reported to the SCABOD that Summerland is the most friendly and supportive community they have ever worked in for over 20 years. Examples of the collaboration include CalTrans working with the SCA volunteers and donors to remove the sandstone boulders and landscaping that were painstakingly carried and planted one piece at a time by resident Sonya Harris to the Ortega Hill trailhead. The BOD thanks Summerland residents and businesses, CalTrans, the MTD, and the Montecito Journal for reporting on Sonya Harris. [Ref: Vol. 28, Iss. 29; July 21, 2022]
