GOLETA -- The City Council on Monday approved a three-year Measure D spending plan that includes more than $1 million in street work.

In a 5-0 vote, the council OK'd a total of more than $1.6 million Measure D spending in 2008, more than $1.7 million in 2009 and nearly $1.8 million in 2010.

Bus lines will get $92,000 next year, $62,000 in 2009 and $63,000 in 2010.

In each year, $100,000 will go to concrete, $275,000 to street trees and medians and $25,000 to paratransit services.

In past years, local agencies considered 5-year blocks of Measure D funding. But an effort to tweak and renew Measure D after 2010 failed last year at the ballot box.
