<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 />

A.8.3. Sidewalk Zones – High Density<br />

Design Summary<br />

Preferred Design<br />

Sidewalks in high density commercial zones shall provide a<br />

sidewalk width <strong>of</strong> approximately 15 feet<br />

The minimum "through passage zone" shall be a min. <strong>of</strong> 6’ to 10’<br />

depending on the pedestrian density expected.<br />

Discussion<br />

Medium to high-density pedestrian zones located in areas with<br />

commercial or retail activity provide excellent opportunities to<br />

develop an inviting pedestrian environment. The frontage zone<br />

in retail <strong>and</strong> commercial areas may feature seating for cafés <strong>and</strong><br />

restaurants, or extensions <strong>of</strong> other retail establishments, like<br />

florists’ shops. The furnishings zone may feature seating, as well<br />

as newspaper racks, water fountains, utility boxes, lampposts,<br />

street trees <strong>and</strong> other l<strong>and</strong>scaping. The medium to high-density<br />

pedestrian zone should provide an interesting <strong>and</strong> inviting<br />

environment for walking as well as window shopping.<br />
