Chapter 1: Existing Conditions Goals and Objectives A vision for increasing public access along the Santa Clara River has been supported by a number of agencies and non-profit groups for many years including: The California State Coastal Conservancy, Ventura County Watershed Protection District, and The Nature Conservancy. Building upon this regional vision, the following goals and objectives for the SCRT were developed with input from the City of Oxnard, the SCRT Steering Committee, and the SCRT Technical Advisory Committee. 1. Create a safe and attractive trail fully accessible to a wide variety of nonmotorized activities for recreation and transportation. Coordinate with regional efforts to increase opportunities for recreation and transportation along the Santa Clara River Corridor. Build a trail that meets the Americans for Disabilities Act (ADA) Guidelines which will accommodate a diverse group of users of all ages including pedestrians, and bicyclists. Incorporate trail amenities to enhance the experience of the trail user such as: Scenic views along the Santa Clara River seating, interpretive elements, gateways, lighting, way-finding information, trail rules and regulations signage, and recycling/trash receptacles. 2. Provide connectivity to existing or planned trails, schools, parks, and other key destinations Establish strong access points to the SCRT. Establish strong access to the Pacific Ocean. Coordinate with City of Oxnard Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Master Plan to ensure strong non-motorized connections. Connect to existing and planned regional non-motorized trails. Existing path in RiverPark Community Consider opportunities for future trail connections to the surrounding unincorporated areas. 2 | Alta Planning + Design
Santa Clara River Trail Plan 3. Develop trail design and development standards that are easy to maintain and access by maintenance, security, and emergency vehicles and minimize impacts to the environment. Establish design standards applicable for regional expansion of the Santa Clara River Trail. Minimize safety hazards for all user groups. Utilize low impact development strategies and innovative storm water management to improve run-off water quality into the Santa Clara River. Levee road looking east toward Hwy 118 4. Provide an enriching trail user experience through the incorporation of educational interpretation opportunities along the trail. Interpret the Santa Clara River Floodplain and ecological function of the watershed. Highlight the local context including history of the land uses along the trail. Seek educational opportunities through student engagement and stewardship. 5. Trail design, construction and long-term use should respect adjacent properties and ecosystems Utilize appropriate measures so that the adjacent residential communities, commercial areas, golf course and landfill properties are not negatively affected by trail. Minimize impacts of trail users to the Santa Clara River habitat and wildlife. 6. Respect the functional role of the Santa Clara River Synchronize trail construction with Ventura County Watershed Protection District (VCWPD) levee and SBP improvements. Coordinate with VCWPD for ongoing operating and maintenance requirements for any trail segments on top of the levee. Minimize impacts to the capacity of the Santa Clara River floodway. Groins serve as additional bank protection along the levee south of the U.S. 101 Freeway City of Oxnard | 3
