IVCSD discussed I.V. harm reduction project, car-free living in Isla Vista

The Isla Vista Community Services District Board covered new progress on a bluff fall memorial, the fall quarter Isla Vista Safe meeting and ideas for parking strategies for new developments during its Oct. 27 meeting. The meeting began with a report of the Oct. 21 I.V. Safe meeting, which covered Soltopia 2027 and the I.V. Harm Reduction Project. The project consists of implementing non-police safety services in I.V. every Friday and Saturday night. Isla Vista Community Services District (IVCSD) General Manager Jonathan Abboud said the harm reduction project was “very well received” by the agencies at the meeting. The board discussed having insufficient funding for Soltopia 2027. IVCSD is currently looking to partner with other agencies for Soltopia 2027. IVCSD Director Annabelle Sipos, a fourth-year anthropology and global studies double major, said that UC Santa Barbara has expressed tentative interest in helping to organize the event.
