Chapter 7: Project Implementation Plan Phase 1: 1 – 5 years Figure 27. Phasing Diagram Phase 1 represents approximately 2 miles of trail atop the levee from the east end of Highway 101 to Central Avenue (Segment 3). Phase 1 provides the most connectivity for alternative transportation and directly links schools, parks, and residential neighborhoods with future shopping and transit. Phase 1 also sets the tone for future phases and highlights the community connection to the Santa Clara River, an important natural resource. Phase 2: 1 – 5 years Phase 2 is the 1.25 mile spur trail segment that runs along the east side of N. Victoria Avenue from the levee to W. Gonzales Road, where a proposed bike lane could provide a connection to the Pacific Ocean (Segment 4). Ideally, Phase 2 would occur simultaneously with Phase 3, but as it is in an underserved neighborhood with poor pedestrian facilities, construction is desirable any time after Phase 1, depending on availability of funding. Phase 3: 5-10 years Phase 3 is the approximately 1.25 mile trail segment follows the existing maintenance road on top of the stream bank protection from N. Victoria Avenue to the Ventura County Watershed Protection District 96 | Alta Planning + Design

Santa Clara River Trail Plan (VCWPD) gates at N. Ventura Road approximately 2,000 feet west of Highway 101 (Segment 1). Phase 3 is the most isolated and should be built simultaneously with Phases 1, 2 or 4 or when they are complete to provide natural surveillance on the trail and minimize vandalism. Phase 4: Pending SCR-3 Levee System Public Safety Project Phase 4 is the approximately .5 mile trail segment from the VCWPD access gate at N. Ventura Road to the east side of Highway 101 (Segment 2). Phase 4 could occur simultaneously with the VCWPD SCR-3 Levee System Public Safety project or at any time thereafter, depending on availability of funding. Special attention will need to be paid to rerouting trail users during construction of the levee and trail projects to ensure their safe passage between SCRT segments 1 and 3. Cost Estimates The construction costs for the Santa Clara River Trail will depend on a number of factors, most specifically, the final alignment and design of the trail segments. Preliminary estimates for construction are based on unit costs and estimates needed for grading and paving a 12-foot-wide concrete trail and the recommended trail amenities. The total estimated cost for the preferred alignment of the Santa Clara River Trail is just over $7.1 million in 2011 dollars. The costs for Santa Clara River Trail (see Tables 13 through 16) do not include the potential landfill post closure amendment, or easement or property acquisition costs for trail development. Table 12: Concept Estimates Total Concept Estimate Santa Clara River Trail Segment 1 $ 2,692,970.00 Concept Estimate Santa Clara River Trail Segment 2 $ 903,714.00 Concept Estimate Santa Clara River Trail Segment 3 $ 1,920,870.00 Concept Estimate Santa Clara River Trail Segment 4 $ 1,610,105.00 TOTAL $ 7,127,659.00 City of Oxnard | 97
