<strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oxnard</strong> | <strong>Bicycle</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Pedestrian</strong> <strong>Master</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />

Additional Discussion – Multi-use Paths in River & Utility Corridors<br />

Access Points:<br />

Any access point to a path should be well-defined with appropriate signage designating the pathway as a bicycle facility <strong>and</strong><br />

prohibiting motor vehicles. Gates that can prevent all access to the facility should be present pursuant to the following conditions:<br />

Path Closure:<br />

Public access to the multi-use path in flood control channels may be prohibited during:<br />

• Flood control channel utility maintenance or other activities<br />

• Inclement weather or the prediction <strong>of</strong> storm conditions<br />

Fencing:<br />

Similar to railroads, public access to flood control channels or canals is undesirable by all parties. Hazardous materials, deep water or<br />

swift current, steep, slippery slopes, <strong>and</strong> debris all constitute risks for public access. Appropriate fencing may be required to keep path<br />

users within the designated travel way. The <strong>City</strong> should consult with the affected <strong>and</strong> or adjacent property owner to determine the<br />

height <strong>and</strong> design material <strong>of</strong> the fence.<br />

Section 1.2.6 provides further guidance on fencing.<br />
