REPORT TO PUBLIC WORKS SUBCOMMITTEE
DATE: APRIL 22, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WORKS SUBCOMMITTEE
FROM: NATHAN HAMBURGER, CITY MANAGER
BY: CHARMAINE YAMBAO, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR / CITY ENGINEER SUBJECT: LADYFACE GREENWAY PROJECT - PROPOSED MODIFICATION TO RAMP WITH TRELLIS The following report is presented to assist in discussions scheduled for the April 22, 2026, Public Works Subcommittee Meeting, on proposed modifications to the planned feature of Decomposed Granite (DG) ramp with trellis for the Ladyface Greenway Project.
The Ladyface Greenway Project (Project) consists of constructing a greenway, approximately 1.3 acres in size. The Project creates recreational opportunities accessible via active transportation alternatives, constructing ADA pedestrian facilities where none currently exist, water quality improvement elements, and improving the use of lands at an existing facility that will enrich the lives of our community.
The Project is nearing completion. The structural component of the Project, which covers the existing rectangular concrete-lined runoff channel, and utility undergrounding were completed earlier this year. Construction to complete the active transportation, drainage and water quality improvement, and aesthetic amenities elements are underway. Construction is estimated to be completed this summer.
The Project lies between the City’s most used commercial center, the Whizin Market Square (Whizin), to the north and Agoura Road to the south, between Cornell Road and approximately 700 feet to the east of Cornell Road. The Project provides for enhanced connectivity between the Project and Whizin property, with cohesiveness between the aesthetic features of the Project area, Agoura Road, and the Agoura Village Specific Plan area.
The three (3) connectivity areas between the Project and Whizin property were planned as follows:
1. A short, straight decomposed granite (DG) ramp with trellis;
2. Stairs with trellis; and
3. A DG ramp with decorative flagstone paving (northeast corner entrance).
The following image shows the three (3) connectivity areas as planned.
As the Contractor worked on laying out the drainage facilities and hardscape, grades were adjusted around an existing SCE transformer on the Whizin property to provide for positive drainage flow away from the transformer and into a catch basin, located just west of the planned short, straight DG ramp with trellis. These grade adjustments resulted in greater elevation difference than originally designed between the Greenway and the existing transformer.
Due to this elevation difference, modifications to the connectivity area of the short, straight DG ramp with trellis are needed. A new configuration, similar to the entrance at the northeast corner of the Project, is proposed, allowing for a more gradual slope from the Whizin property, so no handrails are required. To provide for this gradual ramp, modifications to the hardscape layout connecting to the proposed ramp will need to be made and the entrance will need to be moved closer to the connectivity area of stairs with trellis. And because of the close proximity of these two connectivity areas, it is also proposed to remove the second trellis for aesthetic reasons.
Staff will present illustrative drawings and concept layout plans of the proposed modification at the April 22nd subcommittee meeting and will be seeking feedback from the subcommittee on the aesthetic design of the proposed change.
