<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 />
