City of Oxnard | Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan important and should be considered where riding at night is expected, such as on multi-use paths serving college students or commuters. Lighting should also be considered through underpasses or tunnels, at highway intersections, and when nighttime security could be a problem. Depending on the location, average maintained horizontal illumination levels of 0.5 foot-candle to 2 footcandle should be considered. Where special security problems exist, higher illumination levels may be considered. Light standards (poles) should meet the recommended horizontal and vertical clearances. Luminaries and standards should be at a scale appropriate for a pedestrian or multi-use path. Luminaires should be cutoff in design and utilize bulbs that provide optimum color quality. Uplighting along the paths should be avoided and shields or shrouds should be used where glare or light trespass may be an issue. The City of Oxnard Development Services Department should work with the City’s Transportation Department to establish lighting standards for equipment and lighting levels. A.2.2.11.

Appendix A | Design Guidelines A.2.3. Multi-use Paths in River & Utility Corridors Design Summary Preferred Design Preferred Width: 17’ (12’ paved area + 2’ shoulders on each side + 1’ clearance for signage), with 5’ for pedestrian path Minimum Design Standard: 13’ minimum (8’ paved area + 2’ shoulders on each side + 1’ clearance for signage) Height: 8’ min vertical clearance. If additional width allows, wider paths and bicycle path friendly landscaping are desirable. Discussion Several utility and waterway corridors in Oxnard offer potential path development opportunities. These corridors offer excellent transportation and recreation opportunities for bicyclists of all ages and skills. See following page for additional discussion. Guidance Flood control channels are not discussed specifically, but general multi-use path guidance is available in the following documents: • California MUTCD • Caltrans Highway Design Manual (Chapter 1000) • AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities Design Example A-10 | Alta Planning + Design
