Santa Clara River Trail Plan Chapter 2: Summary of Gap Analysis, Geographic Impediments and Alternatives Analysis Gap Analysis This section discusses the identification of gaps on the Santa Clara River Trail within the City of Oxnard. The text first defines common trail gaps. Various gap closure measures used throughout the United States and other countries are listed, that could be applied in Oxnard. The text concludes with a procedure for identifying Santa Clara River Trail gaps. Defining Trail Gaps Trail gaps exist in various forms, ranging from short “missing links” on a specific street or path corridor, to larger geographic areas with few or no facilities at all. Determining specifically what constitutes a “gap” requires setting parameters for the walkway and bikeway networks and determining which activity centers require direct links to the networks. For example, the desired bikeway network may be a grid with approximately two-mile spacing in developed areas—a network density of approximately one mile of bikeway per square mile. Under this scenario, areas where parallel bikeways are more than two miles apart would be identified as gaps. Likewise, if it is determined that all transit stations should be directly served by the walkway network, any missing walkways within a half-mile of a transit station would constitute a gap. Gaps can then be organized based on length and other characteristics. Gaps can be classified into five main categories: Spot gaps: Spot gaps refer to point-specific locations lacking dedicated facilities or other treatments to accommodate safe and comfortable pedestrian or bicycle travel. Spot gaps primarily include intersections and other areas with potential conflicts with motor vehicles. Examples include bike lanes on a major street “dropping” to make way for right turn lanes at intersection, or a lack of intersection crossing treatments for pedestrians on a route or sidewalk as they approach a major street. Connection gaps: Connection gaps are missing segments (¼ mile long or less) on a clearly defined and otherwise well-connected walkway or bikeway. Major barriers standing between destinations and clearly defined routes also represent connection gaps. Examples include bike lanes on a major street “dropping” for several blocks to make way for on-street parking; a discontinuous sidewalk along a street; or a freeway standing between a major pedestrian or bicycle route and a school. Lineal gaps: Similar to connection gaps, lineal gaps are ½- to one-mile long missing link segments on a clearly defined and otherwise well-connected walkway or bikeway. Corridor gaps: On clearly defined and otherwise well-connected bikeways, corridor gaps are missing links longer than one mile. These gaps will sometimes encompass an entire street corridor where bicycle facilities are desired but do not currently exist (does not apply for wa lkwa y gaps). City of Oxnard | 37
