Chapter 6: Design Guidelines, Maintenance Schedules and Best Practices Bicycle Parking In some locations along the trail system, it may be appropriate to provide bicycle parking. Bicycle racks permit the locking of the bicycle frame and at least one wheel to the rack and support the bicycle in a stable position without damage to wheels, frame or components. Racks should be placed outside of the clear right-of-way, particularly at trailheads or trail start- or end-points. Figure 21. Bicycle Rack Drinking Fountains Drinking Fountains provide water for people (and pets), particularly at trailheads and other desirable destinations. Figure 22.

Santa Clara River Trail Plan Signing Signs along the Santa Clara River Trail system can indicate to pedestrians and bicyclists their direction of travel, location of destinations, etiquette of how to use the trail, and regulatory and warning information. Guide and information signs indicate information for route selection, for locating off-road facilities, or for identifying geographical features or points of interest. Signing style and imagery should be consistent throughout the trail to provide the trail user with a sense of continuity, orientation, and safety. Signs can impart a unique theme so path users know which path they are following and where it goes. The theme can be conveyed in a variety of ways: engraved stone, medallions, bollards, and mile markers. However, the trail should not be over signed; where possible, incorporate signage into trailside vertical elements such as bollards. Table 10: Sign Type and Location Type of Sign Sign Type Location/Frequency Mileage markers Inlaid Medallion Every ¼ mile, starting from the Pacific Ocean, and to nearest roadway Directional signs Blade Where the trail crosses major roadways Trail Etiquette signs Blade At gateways Interpretive signs Wayside kiosk At gateways Regulatory and warning signs Blade According the CA MUTCD guidelines Wayfinding signs ID sign w/blade In neighborhoods and major roadways, within ¼ - ½ mile of trail access points Mileage Markers Mileage markers provide wayfinding information and act as a reference for maintenance crews or police officers, who track activity on the trail. Mileage call-outs should be placed at quarter-mile increments and typically begin at a trailhead or at the city line. The Santa Clara River Trail is unique in that it will be a 25 mile-long regional trail connecting the mouth of the Santa Clara River at the Pacific Ocean to the Sespe Creek confluence. Even though this plan does not include the direct connection to the ocean, it is recommended that the Pacific Ocean is used as the starting place for measuring the mileage and that markers are used from N. Victoria Avenue to Central Avenue. Some communities recommend not installing the mile marker sign until all of the gaps are completed. 7 However, it is preferable to mark the trail continuously and infill appropriate markers when the gaps are closed. 7 Jord an Rive r Trail, UT. http ://www.recreation.slco.org/p lanning/PDFdocs/5_Trail_Standards.pdf City of Oxnard | 85
