Dale Francisco

Nick Welsh has a long, well-researched article in the Independent on the appeal by Santa Barbara SAFE Streets against the Architectural Board of Review's decision on February 5, 2007, ratifying the permanent installation of traffic impediments in the St. Francis neighborhood. City Council denied our appeal; the vote was 6-1. (Iya Falcone's was the only dissenting voice.)

On Wednesday, June 6th, Michael Self and Dale Francisco discussed with Travis Armstrong (on News-Press Radio AM 1290) the appeal outcome and what it means about transportation policy (and democracy) in Santa Barbara. This hour-long discussion will be re-broadcast Sunday, June 10th, at 10:00 a.m. You can listen to it at that time on the radio or streaming on the web.
