Santa Clara River Trail Plan Lighting Lighting improves the safety of the trail or path user by increasing visibility during non-daylight hours. Lighting fixtures should be installed at the gateway entrances near benches, bicycle racks, and roadway and trail crossings. Depending on the location, average maintained horizontal illumination levels of 5 lux to 22 lux (.5 to 2 foot candle) should be considered American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). Where special security problems exist, higher illumination levels may be considered. Light standards (poles) should be installed to meet the recommended horizontal and vertical clearances from trail users. In addition to full height light standards, bollards also provide an effective mounting location for pathway lighting. Their low height and frequent locations reduce light pollution by keeping the illumination source close to the trail surface. There are many types of lighting bollards available. Solar powered bollards lit by LEDs can last about 20 times longer than incandescent bulbs and provide pathway lighting for over 100,000 hours. Watt stopper or similar technology is another option for reducing energy consumption from lighting. Figure 18. Light post with vandal resistant luminary. Site Furnishings Litter Receptacles and Pet Waste Bag Dispensers Trash receptacles and dog waste clean-up bag dispensers with biodegradable bags help keep the trail clean, although the ability to follow up with removal is critical. To minimize enticing varmints along the trail corridor, the Santa Clara River Trail could adopt a “leave only footprints” policy along the trail corridor. Litter receptacles are recommended only at gateways and staging areas. A wildlife proof lid is required for litter receptacles. Figure 19.

A metal slatted bench with a middle seat divider is recommended for durability and to minimize large surface areas for graffiti. Figure 20. Bench City of Oxnard | 83
