CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. L.6
DATE: January 6, 2026
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected] SUBJECT: Agreement 32600243 with Premier Property Preservation, LLC for Custodial Services at the John C.

Zaragoza Oxnard Transit Center (OTC).

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to execute the Agreement with Premier Property Preservation, LLC for a term of one year from February 1, 2026 to January 31, 2027, with an option for four consecutive one-year periods ending January 31, 2031, for a total contract not-to-exceed amount $700,000 for custodial services at the John C.

Zaragoza Oxnard Transit Center.
(Public Works and Transportation Committee approved 2-0 on December 9, 2025)

BACKGROUND
The John C. Zaragoza Oxnard Transit Center (OTC), located at 201 E. Fourth Street, is a regional multimodal transportation hub that connects passengers to regional, local, and commuter services, including Metrolink, Amtrak, the Ventura County Transportation Commission, and Gold Coast Transit District. Opened in 1986, the OTC offers the community a two-story, 13,000-square-foot brick facility on five acres featuring an indoor passenger waiting area with concessions, a café, seating, restrooms, and security services.

For the past 20 years, the OTC has utilized contracted custodial services. The outsourced team provides a full range of cleaning and maintenance tasks, including trash removal, vacuuming, floor waxing, dusting, graffiti removal, window cleaning, polishing, and thorough cleaning of restrooms and break areas. The vendor also supplies all cleaning products and related materials.

DISCUSSION
On September 22, 2025, the City issued Request for Bid (RFB) PW 26-15 for custodial services at the OTC. The RFB was sent directly to three potential vendors and posted on PublicPurchase.com and the City’s Purchasing website. Six bids were received and reviewed by City staff as part of the solicitation process. 204
Vendor Name Monthly Grand Total
Premier Property Preservation, LLC $ 10,480.00
Base Hill $ 11,668.24
CCS Facility Services $ 11,499.00
Jan-Pro $ 17,754.00
Rich and Famous $ 11,158.00
US Metro Group $ 15,950.22
The solicitation included the site-specific custodial service requirements to ensure that the OTC receives the desired level of service. In addition, the new agreement increases the frequency of exterior power-washing from quarterly to monthly.

It also requires the vendor to perform end-of-shift restroom inspections to ensure cleanliness and adequate stocking of supplies.

Premier Property Preservation, LLC (Premier) was the lowest bidder. Staff has confirmed that Premier meets all required City contractual provisions, including possession of a City business tax certificate, insurance certificates, and corporate filing with the California Secretary of State. Therefore, based upon the analysis and research performed to date, staff believes that Premier is capable of successfully performing these services.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item is a routine operational item or does not relate to the five strategic priorities adopted by City Council on March 16, 2021.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost for this agreement with Premier Property Preservation, LLC shall not exceed $700,000 through June 30, 2031, if extended all years. Sufficient funds are available in the City Council-approved OTC operating budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26 in the Transportation Development Act (TDA) Fund 212. Funding for future years will be requested in the annual budget process.

No General Fund money will be used for this Agreement. The table below outlines OTC’s estimated spending plan, which includes the contract permitted CPI adjustment and anticipated service level changes beginning in FY 2025-26.

The Agreement also includes estimated “as-needed” costs to cover potential one-time services that staff may request.

INSTRUCTION FOR SUBMITTING INSURANCE CERTIFICATES AND ENDORSEMENT FORMS Certificates of Insurance
The sample accord form on the following page is provided to facilitate your preparation and submission of certificates of insurance. You may use this or any industry form that shows coverage as broad as that shown on the attached sample. Please note the certificate holder address must be as shown on the attached sample accord form with the contract number and insurance exhibit identification information completed. Improperly addressed certificates may delay the contract start-up date because the City’s practice is to return unidentifiable insurance certificates to the insured for clarification as to the contract number. Cancellation provisions must be endorsed to the policy. Modifying the certificate does not change coverage or obligate the carrier to provide notice of cancellation.

Endorsement Forms
Original endorsements are required for general liability and automobile liability insurance policies and must be attached to the applicable certificate of insurance. City preference is that you use the endorsement forms which are attached. Substitute forms will be accepted, however, as long as they include provisions comparable to the attached.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. L.7
DATE: January 6, 2026
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected] SUBJECT: Amend Department-Wide Blanket Purchase Orders for FY 2025-26 for the Public Works Department.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent to amend purchase orders through June 30, 2026, consistent with the City’s purchasing requirements, with the following vendors:

1. Applied Industrial Technologies for an additional $80,000 for a new not-to-exceed amount of $300,000 for industrial supplies/equipment (e.g., pumps);

2. Daniels Tire Service, Inc. for an additional $80,000 for a new not-to-exceed amount of $300,000 for tires;

3. Grainger, Inc. for an additional $230,000 for a new not-to-exceed amount of $450,000 for safety related equipment and industrial equipment, maintenance supplies, tools and parts;

4. Home Depot U.S.A., Inc. for an additional $80,000 for a new not-to-exceed amount of $300,000 for hardware, tools, construction materials and products; and

5. Ventura County Auto Supply (NAPA) for an additional $30,000 for a new not-to-exceed amount of $250,000 for garage tools, equipment, and fleet maintenance supplies. (Public Works and Transportation Committee approved 2-0 on December 9, 2025)

BACKGROUND
As the City’s Purchasing Policy allows, a blanket purchase order (BPO) is a purchase order established with a vendor to fill repetitive needs for goods, such as janitorial supplies. A BPO utilizes the City's full buying power by taking advantage of quantity discounts, saving City administrative time, and reducing paperwork. BPOs can be established with a not-toexceed (NTE) amount of $220,000, which is within the City Manager’s authority per the city’s Purchasing Policy.

Divisions and departments submit changes on purchase orders, depending on available budget appropriations from each division/department.

To provide the expected customer service of our residents, businesses, and visitors, departments and divisions need a quick and efficient method for purchasing supplies and equipment. Examples include (1) janitorial supplies that are always needed to ensure the park restrooms are available and (2) the purchase of irrigation supplies to repair water leaks without having to shut off the water system for an extended period of time. BPOs are an allowable tool that the City uses to satisfy this need.

The original BPOs that are identified in this report have been issued by using a cooperative agreement, pursuant to the City’s purchasing requirements. The cooperative agreements have been bid and awarded in accordance with local, State, and Federal laws that govern public procurement. As such, other public agencies are also invited to utilize the terms and conditions of these cooperative agreements for their purchases.

DISCUSSION
241
The Public Works Department (Public Works) is requesting approval to amend the NTE amounts of the five identified vendors listed below. These five vendors are heavily used by multiple divisions of the Public Works Department. The BPOs are used not only as part of a routine spending plan, and City Council-approved Operating budget, but also allow the flexibility to purchase items that are not easily anticipated (e.g., unexpected repairs and one-time project costs) and/or may come up as an urgent matter to address a service need. As such, the potential exists for spending more than the $220,000 NTE amount approved by the City Manager. To facilitate maintenance, repairs, and continued service to our residents from multiple divisions within Public Works and other departments, staff recommends that the City Council authorize the NTE amounts noted in Table 1 below. As an example, even though divisions had available funding in the City Council-approved Operating budget for City services at the end of prior fiscal years, there have been several occasions when staff have been unsuccessful in finding an alternative vendor source, resulting in a delay in services until the beginning of the next fiscal year with the restored NTE amounts. Increasing the current authorized amounts above $220,000 for these five vendors will allow the divisions to continue services and meet program objectives, based on the City Council-approved Operating budget, through the entire fiscal year.

Please note that Public Works will be analyzing spending patterns for such purchases. That future analysis intends to identify if there is a pattern to create BPOs at an initial higher amount in lieu of having to amend these after the start of the fiscal year. To date, no pattern has emerged with the limited data.

The NTE amounts recommended are based on forecasted spending needs and data collected from each division in Public Works to support rising inflation, unplanned and/or urgent work, and one-time project costs. These recommended increases to the current authorized amounts will allow the department the flexibility to fully utilize the purchasing plans, within the City Council-approved Operating budget, and to address unexpected maintenance needs and shifting priorities.

The following bullet points provide a brief description of the supplies offered by the five vendors.

Cooperative Agreement BPOs

1. Applied Industrial Technologies is used by Public Works Divisions for industrial supplies/equipment (e.g., pumps, belts, bearings, and impellers).

2. Daniels Tire Service, Inc. is used by the Fleet Services Division to purchase tires for city vehicles.

3. Grainger, Inc. is used by Public Works Divisions for safety-related equipment. Maintenance, repair, and operation (MRO) supplies with a broad range of industrial equipment, maintenance supplies, tools, and parts.

4. Home Depot U.S.A., Inc. is utilized by Public Works Divisions for hardware, tools or construction materials, and products.

5. Ventura County Auto Supply (NAPA) is used by Public Works Divisions for garage tools, equipment, and fleet maintenance supplies.

Below is a summarized list of recommendations for current BPOs being utilized by the Public Works Department, which have been awarded through a cooperative agreement, with a requested annual NTE amount greater than $220,000. While some of the contracts continue past this fiscal year, we are only requesting authorization for the current fiscal year.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. L.8
DATE: January 6, 2026
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected] SUBJECT: Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Completion Project Easement Deed (A-8609) Update with Southern California Edison Company (APN 202-0-010-720).

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to execute an updated Certificate of Acceptance for an Easement Deed (A-8609) with Southern California Edison Company for the property identified by the County Assessor as APN 202-0-010-720, as particularly described in the Easement Deed. (This item did not originate in Committee as this is a capital improvement project specifically listed in the City's Capital Improvement Program budget, which was previously approved by the City Council.)

BACKGROUND
To ensure future reliable and affordable supply of high-quality water, the City of Oxnard developed the Groundwater Recovery, Enhancement, and Treatment (GREAT) Program. As a key element of the City’s GREAT Program, the Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) wells will inject recycled water into the groundwater to provide water supply resiliency and cost stabilization.

The first phase of the ASR well project consists of the construction of a tie-in from the Ventura Road Recycled Water Backbone Pipeline to the ASR Well at Campus Park, temporary well facilities for demonstration testing. Completion of the initial ASR phase of the project is currently underway and includes the construction of one demonstration ASR well, pump, piping, and appurtenances located at Campus Park. Once complete, regulatory testing will demonstrate that water injected at this particular location meets indirect potable water reuse requirements per the approved Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) permit.

On March 1, 2022 City Council approved the execution of a Certificate of Acceptance for an Easement Deed with Southern California Edison (SCE) for the ASR Completion Project. During subsequent construction efforts, the contractor encountered multiple unmarked underground utilities on the old Oxnard High School site, requiring realignment of the electrical service outside of the recorded easement.

Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Reference:

Project No. 206502 - Recycled Water: Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Completion - CIP 2025-2029 - Adopted June 4, 2024 – Page 139.

DISCUSSION
The permanent easement and right-of-way document is necessary for SCE to construct, use, maintain, and operate the underground electrical supply systems required to provide continuous power to the ASR well located at Campus Park 245
within city-owned property. Staff recommends that the City execute a Certificate of Acceptance for the easement deed with SCE for the property identified in Attachment 1.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy. The purpose of the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy is to preserve and improve our roads, utilities, parks, trees, water supply and natural resources through effective planning, prioritization, and an equitable and efficient use of available funding.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
There are no fiscal impacts with the recommended action.

COMMITTEE OUTCOME
This item did not originate in Committee as this is a capital improvement project specifically listed in the Capital Improvement Program budget, which was previously approved by the City Council.

Prepared by: Timothy Beaman, Assistant Public Works Director

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. I.8
DATE: March 1, 2022
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected] SUBJECT: Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Completion Project Easement Deed.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to execute a Grant of Easement to Southern California Edison Company for the property identified by the County Assessor as APN 202-0-010-720, as particularly described in the Easement Deed.
(This item did not originate in Committee as this is a capital improvement project specifically listed in the Capital Improvement Program budget, which was previously approved by the City Council.)

BACKGROUND
To ensure future reliable and affordable supply of high-quality water, the City of Oxnard developed the Groundwater Recovery, Enhancement, and Treatment (GREAT) Program. As a key element of the City’s GREAT Program, the Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) wells will inject recycled water into the groundwater to provide water supply resiliency and cost stabilization.

The first phase of the ASR well project consists of the construction of a tie-in from the Ventura Road Recycled Water Backbone Pipeline to the ASR Well at Campus Park, temporary well facilities from demonstration testing, and a pipeline to convey water from Campus Park to Blending Stations 1 and 6. Completion of the initial ASR phase of the project is currently underway and includes the construction of one demonstration ASR well, pump, piping, and appurtenances located at Campus Park. Once complete, regulatory testing will demonstrate that water injected at this particular location meets indirect potable water reuse requirements per the approved RWQCB permit.

Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Reference:

Project No. 116505/206502 – Recycled Water: Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Completion - CIP 2021-2026 - Adopted May 18, 2021 - Page 136.

DISCUSSION
The permanent easement and right of way agreement is necessary for Southern California Edison (SCE) to construct, use, maintain, and operate the underground electrical supply systems required to provide continuous power to the ASR well located at Campus Park. An agreement for those portions of the SCE power system located within City-owned property are required at this time. Staff recommends the City enter into an agreement and easement deed with SCE for the property identified in Attachment 1.

There is no cost for the Easement Deed.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

REPORTS
AGENDA ITEM NO. N.1
DATE: January 6, 2026
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected] SUBJECT: Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Report.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council receive and file the City’s Safe Routes to School Report. (The Public Works and Transportation Committee approved 2-0 on December 9, 2025 to forward the item to the City Council to review and receive and file.)
Please click the following link to view the required Measure M pre-recorded presentation video: https://youtu.be/- Zs33mrsfRQ

BACKGROUND
Safe Routes to School (SRTS) is a program established by the Federal Highway Administration to encourage walking, bicycling, and rolling, for students traveling to and from school. Local and regional agencies create SRTS programs to develop both non-infrastructure (e.g., educational outreach and walk audits ) and infrastructure (e.g., sidewalk improvement projects) recommendations within neighborhoods surrounding schools serving all grades. The City contracted with a consultant traffic engineer (Fehr & Peers, Inc.), via an existing on-call professional services agreement, to develop the City’s SRTS program with a goal to encourage and provide safe and healthy modes of transportation to and from schools.

In 2021, with the support of the Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC), the City secured a $300,000 Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant to develop a SRTS program for 26 schools located in the Oxnard School and Oxnard Union High School Districts. In 2022, the City Council expanded the program utilizing funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to include the remaining 25 schools in the Rio Elementary, Ocean View, and Hueneme Elementary School Districts.

This staff report serves as both an introduction and a summary of the comprehensive work completed over four years across 51 schools. The final SRTS program details the processes, key considerations, and takeaways from educational and engagement efforts, as well as findings from the collision and citation analyses and walk audits performed at each school.

The key takeaway for each school is an easily shared single page that recommends quick actions for school staff, students, parents, and guardians, as well as long-term actions for school districts and the City. A second single-page map handout illustrates the recommended key routes and crosswalks.

Project No. C2212 – Safe Routes to School Safety and Enhancements – CIP 2025-2029 – Adopted June 4, 2024 Page 121.

DISCUSSION
255
The SRTS program was developed utilizing the Five “E’s” - Evaluation, Education, Encouragement, Enforcement and Engineering.

The project team, which included members from the Traffic Engineering Division, Oxnard Police Department (occasionally), a consulting firm, and school staff, began by evaluating existing conditions and analyzing collision and citation data. The project team engaged with staff at each school to understand any mobility challenges. The team collected data and reviewed Oxnard Police Department (OPD) records of injury-related collisions and traffic citations to identify safety trends near schools. These records were cross-referenced with the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) via the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS).

The education and encouragement activities continued throughout the development of the program with “Walk to School Day” and “Walk and Roll to School Day” events each October and May, where each school received campaign materials to promote and encourage student participation. In addition, eight elementary schools hosted in-person activities, which included bike skills workshops and pedestrian safety assemblies.

The enforcement component was led by OPD’s Traffic Officers, who conduct regular enforcement. In conjunction with OPD’s ongoing efforts, they conducted in-person educational sessions on bicycle and pedestrian safety at schools and at community events, which benefit the broader community.

City Traffic Engineers, along with planners from Fehr & Peer’s team, conducted in-person observations to assess existing conditions for potential engineering enhancements. During walk-audits for all 51 schools, the team observed drop-off and pick-up activities and walked surrounding streets to better understand on-the-ground conditions. Insights gained from these efforts, along with analysis of collision and citation data, allowed the engineering team to understand the unique needs of each school and develop tailored recommendations, including future infrastructure improvements.

Key Recommendations
Recommendations to improve the walking and rolling environment for Oxnard students fall within three categories: 1) Infrastructure, which addresses the built environment; 2) Operations, which addresses school arrival/dismissal traffic; and 3) Programs that offer additional resources to help students get to and from school more easily.

1. Infrastructure - City Led
Generally, key recommendations include upgrading all curb ramps to meet current ADA standards, prioritizing improvements near marked crosswalks, and standardizing high-visibility yellow ladder crosswalks within 600 feet of schools. These are actions routinely completed with annual pavement maintenance CIP projects (i.e. Neighborhood Street Resurfacing, CIP Book Page 114) and through annual pavement marking improvements managed by the Public Works Streets staff. Additional considerations include evaluating uncontrolled intersections for stop control warrants, installing school speed limit signage, and exploring speed reductions within school zones, as allowed by State regulations, the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and/or the California Vehicle Code. Other measures include implementing leading pedestrian intervals (prioritizing pedestrians) at signalized intersections during peak school hours and adopting a standard curb ramp design with reduced radii and directional ramps at school-adjacent corners.

2. School Operations - School District(s) Led
A key recommendation is to disperse peak traffic by staggering arrival and dismissal times and campus locations. The program recommends an increase in school staff presence, particularly crossing guards and supervisory personnel during peak times, potentially through full-time hires or parent volunteer programs. Schools are also urged to integrate transportation safety into their existing comprehensive school safety plans, ensuring that safe access and egress are part of a holistic approach to student well-being. Annually distributing the “Recommended Key Routes & Crossings to School” maps found in the SRTS program will also help promote walking and identify safer routes to travel.

3. Programs - School District(s) Led
As a way to enhance current crossing guard operations, schools are encouraged to collaborate with OPD to strengthen the program through volunteer participation, training initiatives, and shared funding strategies. Schools may recruit parent 256
volunteers to serve as crossing guards, supported by comprehensive school safety plans outlining safe student access procedures. OPD can also implement a "train the trainer" program, dependent upon staff availability and other priorities, to educate school staff and parent groups using established departmental and statewide crossing guard protocols.

Schools are also encouraged to share their calendars with Gold Coast Transit to serve local after-school programs, such as the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme, which are recommended to support safe travel to off-site program locations. The Boys and Girls Clubs of greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme have several locations throughout Oxnard, including sites within multiple elementary school districts, whose programs and transportation options play a key role in extending student safety beyond traditional school hours.

Summary
The SRTS program recommendations are categorized by level of effort, with higher-effort projects flagged for further study, funding, and extended timelines. Long-term improvement ideas are not commitments by the City but rather opportunities for enhancements and accessibility near schools. Recommendations may evolve as school needs and travel patterns shift, and implementation will depend on feasibility, funding availability, and community engagement.

The SRTS program is available on the City website at: https://www.oxnard.gov/project/safe-routes-to-school.

6 | Executive Summary
The goal of Oxnard’s SRTS program is to encourage safe and healthy modes of transportation, such as walking, biking, and rolling, for students traveling to and from school. Through existing conditions analyses and educational/engagement initiatives, the project team developed recommendations to improve the transportation environment for Oxnard students.

Phase I of the Oxnard Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program was funded by a California Transportation Commission Active Transportation Program grant and included 26 schools located in the Oxnard and Oxnard Union High school districts. Phase II of the program included an additional 25 schools serving Oxnard students, within the City of Oxnard, the City of Port Hueneme, and the County of Ventura.

Executive
Summary
263
7 | Executive Summary

WHY SAFE ROUTES TO
SCHOOL?
• SRTS projects and programs
provide congestion relief. Per the US
Department of Transportation, 10 to
14 percent of all car trips during the
morning rush hour nationwide are
for school-related traffic1. Creating
a comfortable walking and cycling
environment can reduce pressure
on roadways by decreasing schoolrelated automobile travel. • SRTS programs can provide
infrastructure investment which can
reduce collision risk along key routes
to and from school. Motor vehicle
collisions are the number one cause
of death for school-aged children in
the United States per the Center for
Disease Control (CDC)2.
• Providing options for children to
walk and bike to school can allow
students to get more exercise,
contributing to a reduced risk of
obesity and adverse health impacts.

Reduced pollution around school
areas from motor vehicles can also
provide beneficial health outcomes.
• Academic studies have citied
that students who routinely walk
and bike to school see increased
confidence, attendance rates, and
academic performance3. Starting the
day off with fresh air and exercise can
boost mental health and feelings of
wellbeing.

The Oxnard SRTS project is designed
to evaluate where the built
environment, school programming,
and operations can be adjusted
to increase the share of students
walking and biking to school and help
facilitate these positive outcomes
for the Oxnard community.

SAFE ROUTES TO

SCHOOL AND THE SAFE

SYSTEM APPROACH
The Safe System Approach is a
holistic methodology to making
safety improvements within the
roadway environment that aims
for an eventual goal of eliminating
all fatalities and serious injuries
from collisions4. Promoted by the
Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA), the Safe System Approach
utilizes several elements to design
environments that accommodate
human mistakes and injury tolerances
to work towards reduced risk. Each
of these elements can map into the
SRTS context. These elements include:
• Safe Road Users: Roadway design
should address safety issues for all
road users, including those who walk,
bike, drive, and take public transit. In
a SRTS context, these road users are
students, parents/guardians, and
school staff.
• Safe Vehicles: Vehicles should be
designed to reduce the severity and
frequency of roadway collisions. In a
SRTS context, these vehicles include
personal automobiles that are driven
by staff and families, as well as school
buses and transit vehicles which
provide student trips.
• Safe Speeds: Humans are unlikely
to survive high-speed crashes. A
pedestrian struck at 20 miles per hour
has a 90 percent chance of survival,
while a pedestrian struck at 40 miles
per hour has only a 10 percent chance
of survival. Reducing speed reduces
impact forces and driver reaction
time. This is even more critical in
a SRTS context, where the smaller
stature of children makes them more
susceptible to injury and positions
them relative to the vehicle/driver
such that they are less visible and
more aligned with the most forceful
part of the vehicle (e.g., the torso,
rather than the legs, is positioned near
the bumper and front nose of the
vehicle).
• Safe Roads: Roadways should be
designed to accommodate human
mistakes, including distraction and
fatigue, by increasing separation of
roadway users traveling at different
speeds and increasing infrastructure
alerting drivers of potential hazards
ahead. In a SRTS context, the roads
around schools can be designed with
even more error-accommodating
features to address children’s
developing ability to assess risk,
negotiate road traffic, and judge
vehicular speeds.
• Post-Crash Care: Emergency
responders should have fast and
easy access to a crash site to
provide immediate care in the event
that a roadway user is injured in a
collision. In a SRTS context, this is
equally important and may offer an
opportunity to partner and align with
in-school student health care (e.g.
school nurses).

The Safe System Approach is
applicable to the Oxnard Safe Routes
to School project and was considered
through the development of the
project’s objectives, educational
messaging, and infrastructure
recommendations.

Oxnard’s Safe Routes to School
program also went beyond observing
historical collision and citation
data. By incorporating walk audits,
dismissal and arrival observations,
and conversations with school staff
and parents, the project team worked
to craft recommendations that
improve the comfort of pedestrians
and cyclists near school campuses.

Proposed improvements are based on
a variety of factors, including historical
collisions and citations, observed
conditions in the field, stakeholder and
community feedback, and locations
out of compliance with state and
federal best practice.

ESTABLISHING

EXISTING CONDITIONS
In August 2022, the SRTS project
team held kick-off calls with Phase
I school district administrators to
initiate the project and understand
more about the transportation
context faced by students in Oxnard.

Administrators shared information
about attendance boundaries,
enrollment trends, busing protocol,
and neighborhood-specific existing
conditions. Phase II school district
calls were conducted in October
2023.

The project team also organized
virtual kick-off meetings with key
staff members from all participating
schools to learn about student travel
modes, preferred walking routes, key
physical or perceived barriers, and
challenges or successes regarding
school arrival and dismissal.

PRE-WALK AUDIT

COMMUNICATION
To better understand key trends
regarding student safety, the project
team analyzed injury and collision
data from 2016-2020 and citation
data from 2016-2022. The collision
analysis focused on a 1/4 mile
radius surrounding each school to
capture student activity. The study
paid particular attention to collision
patterns that are most relevant
to student-aged pedestrians and
bicyclists, and a summary of the
findings is included in the appendix.

COLLISION AND CITATION

ANALYSIS
The project team conducted walk
audits to understand the existing
conditions for students walking and
biking to and from school.

During the walk audits, SRTS
project team members were often
accompanied by a city staff person
as well as a school staff person,
and sometimes by members of
the school community such as
parents or staff members. Walk audit
participants would walk around the
perimeter of the school to identify
and inventory infrastructure needs,
and to observe the behavior of

WALK AUDIT
people traveling around the school. The SRTS team would also complete an extended walk, covering most streets within a 1/4 mile radius of the school, to identify infrastructure needs that were likely to be encountered by students walking or biking to school.

The SRTS project team also observed either arrival or dismissal, to identify traffic operations and communications patterns that were working well or could be improved. Data gathered and observations made during the walk audit site visit assisted the team in developing infrastructure, programmatic, and operations recommendations.

EDUCATION & ENGAGEMENT
The SRTS project team conducted “Walk to School Day” events in October 2022, 2023, and 2024. Interested schools were provided with flyer and banner templates to encourage student participation. In 2023, two schools participated and reported back, and in 2024, two schools also participated and reported back following the events.

WALK TO SCHOOL DAY
The project team also conducted a “Walk and Roll to School Day” on National Bike to School Day on May 3rd, 2023 with five schools participating.

A second “Walk and Roll to School Day” event occurred on May 8th, 2024.

For Phase II, Walk and Roll to School Day occurred on May 7, 2025 with two additional schools participating.

WALK & ROLL TO SCHOOL DAY
In response to the prompt, “Why Drive When You Can...?” students submitted artwork in the form of drawings, videos, and more. A total of 90 students participated in the art competition and contest winners were recognized at a City council meeting in June 2023. The art contest was offered again for Phase II schools with an active transportation theme in Fall 2024.

OUTCOMES
Recommendation Types
The Oxnard SRTS program produced the following outcomes: infrastructure, programmatic, and operational recommendations (see table below), technical reports and one-page summaries for each of the 51 schools, and a map of key routes & crossings for parents, caretakers, and students to access existing and planned infrastructure surrounding the school campus.

The SRTS project team created a technical report for each school that includes walk audit and collision & citation trend details, which can be found in the appendix.

SCHOOL TECHNICAL REPORTS
The key routes & crossings maps visually communicate recommended routes for student travel. The maps take into account the most direct path to school from surrounding neighborhoods, the presence of supportive crossing infrastructure such as crosswalks, stop signs, and traffic signals, and where possible, minimizing the number of conflict points with vehicles.

KEY ROUTES & CROSSINGS MAP

STUDENT TRAVEL SURVEY
In compliance with the California ATP grant, a student travel survey was distributed to schools to gather pre-project and post-project pedestrian and bicycle student travel tallies. During Phase I, a total of 13 of 26 schools provided responses, reflecting a 50% response rate, which is a reasonable outcome for a survey of this kind. Post-program data from Phase II schools will be collected, analyzed, and reported in Fall 2025.

11 | Chapter 1: Introduction

SRTS PHASE I
The first phase of Oxnard’s SRTS
program spanned two school years,
2022 – 2023 and 2023 – 2024, and
was comprised of two components,
infrastructure and non-infrastructure.

The infrastructure component
developed plans, specifications &
estimates (PS&E) for five schools,
hereafter referred to as infrastructure
schools. One additional school, for
a total of six, had PS&E estimates
developed through a separate grant
and is also noted as an infrastructure
school below. The non-infrastructure
component conducted educational
outreach and walk audits, identified
engineering recommendations for
future infrastructure improvements,
and coordinated with safety
stakeholders, such as Oxnard Police
Department (Oxnard Police) and
school and district staff, for 26
schools. This report documents the
methodology and findings for the
non-infrastructure component. The
following 26 schools were included
in Phase I, with the six infrastructure
schools noted with an asterisk(*):

OXNARD SCHOOL DISTRICT:
• Bernice Curren School*
• Cesar Chavez School
• Christa McAuliffe School
• Dennis McKinna School
• Dr. Manuel M. Lopez Academy of
Arts and Sciences
• Drifill School
• Elm Street School
• Emilie Ritchen School

OXNARD UNION HIGH SCHOOL
DISTRICT:
• Channel Islands High School
• Condor High School
• Hueneme High School
• Oxnard High School
• Oxnard Middle College High
School
• Pacifica High School
Schools for Phase I were selected
based on four criteria:

1. Collision History: Schools were
selected based on a history
of pedestrian- and bicyclistinvolved collisions that resulted in fatalities and severe injuries.

The infrastructure schools
selected met these criteria and
share similar attributes and
infrastructure needs. The 26
non-infrastructure schools were
selected by district, including the
Oxnard School District elementary
and middle schools and the high
schools in the Oxnard Union High
School District.

2. School Site Assessments: Prior
to the initiation of Phase I, the
Oxnard Police Department (OPD)
conducted traffic assessments
at all schools in consultation
with school administrators and
staff. The assessment included
observations and walk audits
conducted during the arrival
(drop off) and dismissal (pick
up) periods with a focus on
traffic patterns, safety concerns
between vehicles and students,
bus traffic, crossing guards, and
infrastructure deficiencies.

3. Existing City Plans: The City’s
Bicycle & Pedestrian Facilities
Master Plan identifies and
prioritizes the need for Safe Routes
to School improvements.

4. Public Outreach: Comments
highlighting specific safety needs
were received through prior
plans that included public safety
meetings, bicycle stakeholder
groups, parent informational
meetings, community design
charrettes, and community street
workshops.

SRTS PHASE II
The second phase of Oxnard’s SRTS
program began in October 2023,
overlapping with Phase I, and was
completed in May 2025, covering
the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025
academic years. Phase II included all
remaining schools that serve Oxnard
students, including schools within
the City of Oxnard as well as schools
located in the City of Port Hueneme
and the unincorporated areas of
Ventura County, where those schools’
attendance boundaries crossed into
the City of Oxnard. For schools located
outside the City of Oxnard, the project
team coordinated with the local
jurisdiction to discuss the project and
learn more about possible related
projects in the attendance boundary.

For the purpose of developing this
final report and technical appendices,
those schools’ collision and citation
analyses and infrastructure
recommendations are limited to the
right of way that is within the City of
Oxnard’s boundaries.

The following school districts and
schools were included in Phase II.

Schools located outside the City of
Oxnard are noted with two asterisks

12 | Chapter 1: Introduction

3. Walk Audit: In partnership with
school representatives, the project
team conducted in-person
observations of existing conditions
for students walking and biking
to and from school. The goal was
to help identify opportunities for
improvements to infrastructure,
programs, and operational safety.

Prior to each of these walk audits,
the SRTS team met with school
staff to review travel patterns
and known challenges to inform
the audit schedule and route. In
addition to observing drop off/
pick up times at a school, the
team also physically walked the
surrounding streets to better
understand the realities of the
existing infrastructure.

The SRTS team used knowledge
and conclusions gained from the
above project components to better
understand the unique conditions
of each school and provide tailored
recommendations.

This report serves as both an
introduction and a summary of the
extensive efforts undertaken across
51 schools in Phase I and Phase II.

The remainder of the report includes
the processes, considerations, and
key takeaways from the team’s
educational and engagement
initiatives, as well as observations and
conclusions from the collision and
citation analyses and the walk audits.

The report also presents specific
infrastructure recommendations
for each school alongside citywide
recommendations aimed at
enhancing communication and
providing robust program support.

For those seeking in-depth data and
findings, school-specific technical
documentation is provided in the
appendices. The documentation
includes detailed analyses of
collisions, citations, and walk audits for
each school.

PLAN DEVELOPMENT
The Oxnard SRTS program includes
the following components that
inform and build upon each other to
identify infrastructure and operational
recommendations for future grant
funding opportunities:

1. Education and Engagement: The
project team led a “Walk to School
Day” and a “Walk and Roll to
School Day” in October and May
of each school year respectively.

For each event, schools received
campaign materials designed to
educate and promote student
participation. In addition, eight of
the schools held events like bike
skills workshops and pedestrian
safety assemblies. These events
were also an opportunity to
partner with local organizations,
such as BikeVC, as well as
connect with OPD officers who
have led educational sessions on
bicyclist and pedestrian safety
both for schools and the broader
community.

2. Collision and Citation Analysis:

The project team analyzed recent
datasets for injury collisions and
citations to find safety trends
as they relate to schools. These
trends were reviewed with OPD
officers as part of ongoing
discussions about how OPD can
continue to support roadway
safety around schools. At the time
of the analysis, the most readily
available collision dataset was for
the years 2016-2020. For citations,
the most recent dataset spanned
2016-2022.

FUNDING
Phase I of the Oxnard SRTS program
was funded by a California
Transportation Commission Active
Transportation Program grant
selected by the Ventura County
Transportation Commission and
administered by the California
Department of Transportation
(Caltrans). SRTS Phase I was also
included in the City’s Capital
Improvement Program 2022 – 2027.

Phase II was included as a part
of the City’s On Call Agreement
for Traffic Engineering Consulting
& Services from 2022 to 2025.
269
13 | Chapter 2: Education & Engagment
The SRTS education and engagement programs are
designed to be adaptable, meeting the diverse needs of
schools throughout the City of Oxnard. To this end, the SRTS team developed a flexible menu of programming
options, which included two major citywide events:

Walk to School Day in October and Walk & Roll to School Day in May. These events aimed to build momentum
and catalyze the adoption of Safe Routes to School
initiatives within individual schools, as detailed in
Section 2.1. In addition to these citywide events, schools had access to a range of customized programming,
including customized assemblies and workshops.

These events are further described in Section 2.2.

CITYWIDE EDUCATION

AND ENGAGEMENT
OCTOBER 2022, 2023, & 2024 -
WALK TO SCHOOL DAY:

The following citywide education
and engagement events were
held during this first phase of
Oxnard’s SRTS program.

Walk to School Day events were
conducted twice : in October 2022
and 2023. The project team offered
support for any school interested
in participating. During the October
2022 event, as the SRTS program was
in its initial phase and schools were
still getting familiar with it, flyer and
banner templates were distributed
to schools who expressed interest in
participating. In October 2023, flyer
and banner templates were shared
with all schools and school districts.

MAY 2023, 2024, & 2025 - WALK
AND ROLL TO SCHOOL DAY:

Bike to School Day was rebranded
as “Walk and Roll to School Day”
in Oxnard’s Safe Routes to School
(SRTS) program, reflecting the
higher proportion of students who
walk rather than bike to school. This
change aimed to make the event
more inclusive. As part of the initiative,
flyer and banner templates were
distributed to all schools and school
districts. Schools were encouraged
to either align their Walk and Roll
to School Day with the National
Bike to School Day on May 3rd or
choose another date that better
suited their schedule. The second
annual Walk and Roll to School Day
was successfully held on May 8th,
2024. The third annueal event was
held on May 7th, 2025 with 2 schools
participating.

JUNE 2023 & 2024 - ART
COMPETITION:

Oxnard students were invited to
submit artwork in response to the
prompt, “Why Drive, When You Can…?”
in the form of drawings, paintings,
photographs, or videos/animations.

Contest winners were recognized at
a City Council meeting in June 2023,
and artwork was displayed at the
Oxnard South Branch Library.

SCHOOL-SPECIFIC

EDUCATION AND ENGAGEMENT
In addition to the citywide resources, each school was invited to participate in bespoke activities tailored to meet their specific needs.

The SRTS team provided a variety of specialized activities, including pedestrian safety assemblies, bicycle safety demonstrations, and skills workshops. These initiatives were designed to enhance educational and engagement efforts, focusing on improving safety awareness and practices among students. The specific topics and activities were customized based on communication with participating schools. 271

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY ASSEMBLIES
The pedestrian safety assemblies were
designed to educate students on crucial
aspects of pedestrian safety. These
assemblies covered key topics such as safe
crossing practices and the importance
of paying attention to traffic signals. To
foster direct engagement and enhance
the learning experience, sessions were
conducted in individual classrooms
across the participating schools.

The schools that participated in the
Pedestrian Safety Assemblies include:
• Christa McAuliffe Elementary School
• Juan Lagunas Soria Elementary School
• McKinna Elementary School
• Kamala School
• Julien Hathaway Elementary School
• Parkview Elementary School
• Mar Vista Elementary School
• Rio Real Elementary School
• Ansgar Larsen Elementary School

BIKE SKILLS WORKSHOPS
Bike skills workshops focused on teaching
students the importance of biking safely
to school, emphasizing helmet safety and
essential biking skills. This initiative was
supported by Bike Ventura and included
participation from the Oxnard Police
Department, enhancing the workshop’s
credibility and educational value. The
workshop provided students there with handson experience and practical knowledge to ensure their safety while biking.

The school that participated in the
Bike Skills Workshop is Driffill School.

Other schools had access to the citywide
resources. They were offered the
opportunity to participate in additional
school-specific activities but declined.

See Appendix A for the flyer and banner templates.
273
17 | Chapter 3: Collision & Citation Trends
Before the walk audits, the SRTS team analyzed injury
collision data from 2016 to 2020 for Phase I schools, 2018 to 2022 collision data for Phase II schools, and citation data from 2016 to 2022 for both phases to identify collision hot spots and key trends in traffic violations and crash types, particularly those involving pedestrians, cyclists, and minors under 16 years old. The focus was on a quarter-mile radius around each school, where student travel activity intensifies. Collision data, provided by the Oxnard Police Department, were cross-referenced with the Statewide
Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) via the
Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS). Citation data were also sourced from the Oxnard Police Department.

SCHOOL-SPECIFIC COLLISION

AND CITATION ANALYSIS
For Phase I schools, the SRTS team analyzed collision data from 2016-2020, which was the most recent 5-year period available. For Phase II schools, the SRTS team analyzed collision data from 2018-2022, which was the most recent 5-year period available The focus of this analysis included collisions involving vulnerable road users (pedestrians, bicyclists, and individuals under the age of 16), collisions that resulted in fatalities or severe injuries, collision hotspots near schools, and the top violations and citations associated with these collisions. These insights into collision and citation trends provided a solid foundation and reference point for the SRTS team to conduct walk audits and formulate targeted recommendations.

More details are available in the School Technical Reports (Appendix B).

25 | Chapter 4: Walk Audits
The primary objective of the walk audits was to evaluate the current conditions affecting students’ journeys on foot or by bike to and from school, including during drop-off and pick-up times. This assessment aims to pinpoint potential enhancements in infrastructure, programming, and operational safety. The audit also includes an analysis of circulation patterns to determine the main routes students use to access the school. To ensure a thorough understanding of the unique conditions at each school, a walk audit was conducted for each of the 51 schools included in Phases I and II.

4. Walk Audits
282
26 | Chapter 4: Walk Audits

PROCESS OF WALK AUDITS
To lay the groundwork for the walk
audits, the SRTS team organized
initial meetings with key personnel
at each school to outline the audit
schedules and discuss the designated
walking routes. These conversations
focused on understanding students’
travel patterns to and from school,
identifying preferred pathways,
recognizing significant physical and
perceptual obstacles, and discussing
the challenges and successes related
to arrival and departure times.

During each walk audit, the team
conducted observations in two
specific areas: the school perimeter
and the walkshed. Observations within
the school perimeter focused on the
streets immediately bordering the
school property, while the walkshed
observations covered a broader area
extending roughly a quarter mile from
the school. This approach allowed for
a comprehensive assessment of the
safety and accessibility of student
travel paths.

The SRTS team summarized the
results of each walk audit in a
school-specific School Technical
Report (Appendix B). These reports
cover the specific observations
that supported the development
of recommendations included in
Chapter 5: Recommendations.
283
27 | Chapter 4: Walk Audits

SCHOOLS ADJACENT TO LOCAL ROADS
Some schools are adjacent to local streets, which become notably congested during the drop-off and pick-up times. The arrival and departure of students and parents/guardians lead to a dramatic increase in traffic volume on these narrow and otherwise low-volume streets.

CITYWIDE OBSERVATIONS
During the walk audits, the SRTS team identified two typical scenarios that impact the transportation environment around schools:
“A crossing guard at the San Mateo
Place & Du Pont Street intersection
instructed pedestrians to wait until
there was a critical mass of people
and then would stop the heavy
vehicular traffic during drop-off
and pick-up peak times to allow
people to cross the south and east
legs like a pedestrian scramble at a
signalized intersection.”
-Lemonwood School Observation
“To improve pick-up traffic flow,
the school principal has instructed
parents/guardians to park in the
vicinity of the school, such as
on Via Marina Avenue & Offshore
Street. The majority of parents/
guardians were observed walking
to the school entrance to pick up
their student and walk back to their
parked vehicles. Many parents/
guardians were observed crossing
midblock outside of a marked
crosswalk.”
-McAuliffe Elementary
School Observation SCHOOLS ADJACENT TO MAJOR ROADS (ARTERIALS & COLLECTORS) Some schools located near major roads face constant high traffic volumes and speeds, creating an environment that is less comfortable for students commuting on foot or by bike.
284
28 | Chapter 5: Recommendations
Recommendations to improve the walking
and rolling environment for Oxnard
students fall within three categories:
• Infrastructure, which addresses the built environment • Operations, which addresses school
arrival/dismissal traffic
• Programs, which offer additional resources to help
students get to and from school more easily

5. Recommendations
285
29 | Chapter 5: Recommendations

5.1 INFRASTRUCTURE
The following section describes
infrastructure recommendations,
informed by the observations
made during the walk audit, the
challenges shared during the
pre-walk virtual meeting, and the
collision and citation analysis.

Infrastructure recommendations that
are a higher level of effort, requiring a
longer time frame, grant funds, and
additional study, are all marked in the
school-specific recommendations
section. The feasibility, funding source,
and timeline for each improvement
will vary and will require outreach
and studies in order to finalize
individual projects. The inclusion of
higher-effort projects in this report
does not commit the City of Oxnard
to implementing these ideas; rather
it serves as a documentation of
opportunities to pursue meaningful
changes to the public rightof-way near schools. These
infrastructure recommendations
reflect conditions at the time of
this study, and recommendations
may evolve as travel patterns and
school needs change over time.

Certain infrastructure
recommendations are intended to act
as new City policy to be incorporated
alongside resurfacing and general
street upgrade work that the City
undertakes, often to bring schoolarea infrastructure into State and Federal compliance or align with best
practices. These recommendations
can be implemented in all
locations deemed feasible from
an engineering perspective within
the sphere of influence of school
areas described in this report.
• Continue to upgrade curb ramps to
ADA standards, including cross slope,
tactile warning pads, etc. at all points
where legal crosswalks are located,
marked or unmarked, as a part of
resurfacing projects. Priority should be
given to marked crosswalks.
• Upgrade all marked crosswalks
within 600 ft of school perimeter to
striped high -visibility yellow ladder
crosswalks per the California Manual
for Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD).
• Evaluate all three-way uncontrolled
intersections for stop control using
stop sign application guidance per
California MUTCD and add all-way
or minor-leg control as appropriate
based on vehicular traffic volumes,
sight lines, and crash history.
• Add school speed limit signage at
least 200 feet in advance of school
grounds/crosswalk per the California
MUTCD.
• Explore school zone speed
reductions to 15 or 20 miles per hour
within 500 feet of schools per recent
changes in the California MUTCD that
acknowledge risks to vulnerable users
including children.
• Consider Leading Pedestrian
Intervals (LPIs) at traffic signals
adjacent to school campus. These
could be implemented around arrival/
dismissal time to reduce issues with
signal timing (with generous buffer for
bell schedule changes).
• Consider adopting a standard curb
ramp design that reduces the curb
radius and includes directional ramps
for all corners adjacent to schools

NEAR TERM GLOBAL
RECOMMENDATIONS:

LONG-TERM, HIGH-EFFORT
GLOBAL RECOMMENDATIONS:
• To increase driver compliance with
red curb zones and to shorten the
crossing distance for pedestrians,
consider piloting and evaluating the
efficacy of paint and bollard curb
extensions as a quick-build treatment
while longer-term funding is secured
to design and construct raised curb
extensions.
• In locations that involve leaving
a higher speed arterial to enter
a residential neighborhood with
a school, consider piloting and
evaluating the efficacy of paint and
bollard gateway treatments, such as
street narrowing, mini-roundabouts,
or other traffic calming devices, while
longer-term funding is secured to
design and construct permanent
treatments.
286
30 | Chapter 5: Recommendations
• Increase staffing during arrival
and dismissal, to the extent possible
through contracts and union
agreements, to supervise students
and provide crossing guard support.

Finding opportunities to hire full-time
supervisor staff rather than part-time
staff may help with retention issues.

Utilizing a parent volunteer force could
also help extend the reach of staff
support during arrival/dismissal.
• Enforce that cars do not park within
20 feet of crosswalks or intersections.
“Daylighting” the crosswalk with at
least 20 feet (one vehicle length)
is now required by state law
and improves visibility between
pedestrians and vehicles.
• To the degree possible with staffing
and infrastructure considerations,
utilize multiple gates or access points
across the campus. This can relieve
bottlenecks and peak congestion at
specific access and egress points.
• Stagger arrival and dismissal
times by grade and by gates, where
possible. Staggering pick-up and
drop-off times by as little as 5 minutes
can spread peak congestion to a
more steady and manageable flow
for existing infrastructure.
• Communicate expectations
with school families, encouraging
people who live within 4 blocks to
walk to school rather than drive.

Communicate expectations around
use of loading areas (where they
exist), gates, staggered times, and
behavior/etiquette with staff and
other school families. Encourage
a calm, safe, and courteous
environment for all. Consider tying
these recommendations to key

5.2 OPERATIONS
In addition to changes to the public
right of way, schools across the
City of Oxnard may make a series
of general operational changes to
facilitate smoother school-related
travel. In general, spreading out the
arrival and dismissal peak in space
and time can help address some of
the congestion-related concerns.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR

SCHOOLS AND DISTRICTS
research findings about student
performance, safety, and wellness,
which include:
• Students who walk to school
generally have better school
performance and are more focused
during the day than children who are
driven to school.
• Reducing dismissal traffic through
prioritizing walking and biking can
reduce vehicle traffic overall and
reduce collisions in the school area.
• Increasing the number of students
walking and biking increases
active time and improves the
health of students while reducing
concentrations in air pollution from
cars which may impact children
with asthma and/or chronic lung
conditions.
• Distribute the recommended
crossings maps developed as part
of the Oxnard SRTS project to further
encourage students to walk to school
using the available crosswalks, ramps,
and sidewalks.
• Incorporate transportation
safety into existing comprehensive
school safety plans to memorialize
the expectations around student
transportation safety. Comprehensive
school safety plans incorporate and
aggregate many aspects of student
safety, including reducing the risk of
crime, drug use, and injury on school
campus. They also include safe
access and egress routes for students,
which is most relevant to the safe
routes program.

OXNARD POLICE DEPARTMENT &

THE CROSSING GUARD PROGRAM
The Oxnard Police Department
(OPD) shared that the Crossing
Guard Program currently
experiences challenges in staffing,
training, and funding to meet
the needs of the City’s schools.

The following recommendations
outline how Oxnard schools
and OPD might coordinate with
one another to implement the
Crossing Guard Program.

Staffing
Training
Funding
Schools could call upon parents to
serve as volunteer crossing guards
to meet the needs that are present
due to current vacancies and
staffing/funding limitations within
the Crossing Guard Program. The
comprehensive school safety plan
should provide parents with standard
procedures for safe ingress/egress
of students. This may include the
identification of different crossing
guard locations (i.e., crosswalks,
student loading/unloading zones, bus
stops) and policies on early dismissal
and tardiness. Additionally, OPD could
consider contracting with a Crossing
Guard staffing agency to hire, train,
and deploy the crossing guards.

Schools can coordinate with OPD
to develop a “train the trainer”
program based on department
training guidelines and statewide
crossing guard practices. Through
this program, parent volunteer
groups and teacher/staff would be
trained by OPD’s current crossing
guard and Traffic Safety staff, which
includes Traffic Service Assistants
and Community Service Officers.

Schools can consider several funding
mechanisms, which may require
coordination with local agencies, to
expand the crossing guard program.
• Local sales tax funding (e.g. Measure
AA, the ½-cent transportation sales tax
in Marin County where 7% of funds are
dedicated to crossing guards)
• Traffic fines and forfeitures (e.g. the

GOLD COAST TRANSIT DISTRICT
Gold Coast Transit District offers
several programs that serve students
in Oxnard. In addition, staff expressed
interest in coordinating with schools
to highlight access opportunities
and to ensure safe routes to bus
stops nearest to middle and high
schools, which may include improved
crosswalk or sidewalk infrastructure.

Youth Ride Free Program
Late Night Safe Rides Program
Fixed-Route Services
The Youth Ride Free program
provides a free transportation
option for students to and from
school. Students can ride free
without a pass on all Gold Coast
Transit District fixed-route services.

The Late Night Safe Rides program
accommodates students 16 and
older who may have irregular
schedules due to extracurricular
activities. Late Night Safe Rides
operate within Gold Coast’s service
area between the hours of 7:00
PM and 12:00 AM and provide
shared, door-to-door rides.

Current fixed-route services in the
City of Oxnard allow students to
travel to and from schools outside
of their district if their school does
not provide a dedicated school bus.

Special services may be provided
during arrival and/or dismissal time
to local high schools in Oxnard.

AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS
Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater
Oxnard and Port Hueneme
Some students may participate in
after-school programs, such as the
Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Oxnard
and Port Hueneme. Coordination
with the Boys & Girls Clubs is
recommended to ensure student
safety when traveling to these offsite locations. There are 21 Boys & Girls Club locations within the City
of Oxnard, including 7 clubhouse
locations and 14 additional sites
in the Rio Elementary, Ocean
View Elementary, and Hueneme
Elementary school districts.

Driffill School (TK-8)
Driffill’s location in a dense neighborhood with no drop-off/pick-up zones creates bottlenecks with drivers double- and triple-parked during arrival and dismissal. Additionally, residential streets tend to have narrow sidewalks, wide curb radii, and wide travel lanes, which all encourage faster vehicle speeds. • SCHOOL STAFF: Enforce situations where drivers are double-parked waiting to drop-off or pick-up students. • PARENTS/GUARDIANS/STUDENTS: Consider parking a few blocks away from the school and then walking the final distance with your children to the school campus.

Hollywood
Beach School
Hollywood Beach (TK-6)
Hollywood Beach is an elementary school located by the beach in unincorporated Ventura County. Recommendations focus on improving pedestrian visibility and slowing down speeding vehicles. Coordination between the City of Oxnard and Ventura County will be necessary for any improvements immediately adjacent to the school, as Sunset Lane and part of Channel Islands Boulevard are owned by the County. • SCHOOL STAFF: Distribute literature to parents/students on recommended pick-up/drop-off strategies due to limited capacity along Sunset Ln.
• PARENTS/GUARDIANS/STUDENTS: Slow down when driving along Channel Islands Blvd or Harbor Blvd, as there may be students nearby.

Fred L. Williams (TK-5)
Fred L. Williams is an elementary school located off of a high volume, high speed arterial. Recommendations focus on improving accessibility and mitigating potential conflicts. • SCHOOL STAFF: Distribute literature to parents/students on recommended pick-up/drop-off strategies to aid congestion along Anchorage St.
• PARENTS/GUARDIANS/STUDENTS: Avoid making U-turns along Anchorage, as that may conflict with parents leaving from the school drop off area. Instead, exit the neighborhood at Terrace and Bard for eastbound travel or Terrace and Pleasant Valley for westbound travel.

Laguna Vista (TK-5)
Laguna Vista is uniquely located in a rural/farmland setting, where high speeds commonly occur along long stretches of unobstructed roadway. Laguna Vista is located in unincorporated Ventura County; no infrastructure recommendations are made since the school is outside the City of Oxnard’s jurisdictional right-of-way. • SCHOOL STAFF: Consider allocating staff or parent volunteers to direct traffic in the morning at school driveway entrances along Etting Road to improve the flow of traffic. • PARENTS/GUARDIANS/STUDENTS: Slow down when approaching the school and yield to students who may be crossing during drop off and pick up.

83 | Chapter 6: Key Routes & Crossings Maps
The following key routes & crossings maps were created
as a resource for parents and students traveling to and from school. The maps show recommended routes,
which take into account the most direct path to school
from surrounding neighborhoods, the presence of
supportive crossing infrastructure such as crosswalks,
stop signs, and traffic signals, and where possible,
minimizing the number of conflict points with vehicles.

However, parents remain responsible for getting their
children to and from school safely. New hazards or
condtions may arise, and parents and children should
exercise common sense when using these maps.

1. Collision and Citation Trends
This section summarizes the collision analysis and citation analysis within a quarter mile of the school, as pedestrian and bicyclist activity is concentrated as students approach or depart the school campus. Collision data from 2016 through 2020 was provided by the Oxnard Police Department and validated against the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) via the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS). Citation data from 2016 through 2022 was provided by the Oxnard Police Department.

1.1 Collision Trends
Collisions were spread in the west portion of the quarter mile buffer area of the School and notably clustered on Oxnard Boulevard, Glenwood Drive, and Gonzales Road. There was one fatality collision and one severe injury collision with the quarter mile radius. Both of them happened on North Rose Avenue. The fatal collision involved a person under the age of 16 in a vehicle. 397
12 | Appendix B School Technical Reports
There were three pedestrian collisions and two bike collisions within the quarter mile radius. These collisions occurred along Martin Luther king Drive, Pinata Drive, and Rose Avenue. 398
13 | Oxnard Safe Routes to School Appendices
Putting all the information together, several collisions involving someone under the age of 16 also involved a pedestrian or a bicyclist. The one fatal collision occurred midday along Rose Avenue between Cesar Chavez Drive & Camino De La Luna and resulted from a driver making an unsafe lane change.
399
14 | Appendix B School Technical Reports

1.2 Injury Collision Summary
There were 34 injury collisions between 2016-2020 within a quarter mile radius of Brekke Elementary School. One collision resulted in a fatal collision, and one resulted in a severe injury.

Nine collisions (26%) involved someone under the age of 16, one of which involved someone killed or severely injured. Details are provided below.

Action During Collisions
The leading violations were Unsafe Speeds (26%), Vehicle Right of Way Violations (21%), and Improper Turning (12%). Nearly 80% of the collisions within a quarter mile of the school occurred on Rose Avenue, which exhibited representative violation patterns of all collisions within a quarter mile radius. Two of the three collisions that occurred nearest to the school involved a driver failing to yield.

2. Walk Audit
• Most students live in the surrounding neighborhood. Approximately half of students walk to school while the other half are dropped off. Bus services are provided for students with special needs.
• Key locations include: Martin Luther King Jr. Drive & Gottfried Place crosswalk (crossing guard location), Gottfried Place/Sombra Way crosswalk (crossing guard location), and Gottfried Place parking lot and entrance. • Key issues include: high vehicle speeds, rushed drop-offs, double parking and illegal u-turn maneuvers.

The purpose of the walk audit is to understand existing conditions for students walking and biking to/from school and for drop off and pick up in order to identify opportunities for infrastructure, programmatic, and operational safety improvements. During the walk audit, the team also observed circulation patterns to identify key routes to school.

Before the walk audit, injury collision data from 2016-2020 and citation data from 2016-2022 were analyzed to understand key trends, such as top violations and crash types for all injury collisions and for injury collisions involving people walking, biking, and anyone under 16 years of age. The collision analysis focused on approximately a quarter mile around the school as student travel activity becomes concentrated closer to the school.

2.1 Pre-Walk Audit Activities
In preparation for the walk audit, the SRTS team held a kick-off meeting with key school staff, including Principal Tammy Smith, to discuss the walk audit schedule and walking route. The discussion covered how students travel to/from school, the preferred routes approaching/ departing school, key physical and perceived barriers, and challenges and successes for arrival/ dismissal activity.

1. Collision and Citation Trends
This section summarizes the collision analysis and citation analysis within a quarter mile of the school, as pedestrian and bicyclist activity is concentrated as students approach or depart the school campus. Collision data from 2016 through 2020 was provided by the Oxnard Police Department and validated against the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) via the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS). Citation data from 2016 through 2022 was provided by the Oxnard Police Department.

1.1 Collision Trends
Collisions are prevalent along East 3rd Street just outside of the quarter-mile buffer of the school area. Collisions involving individuals under 16 years of age largely clustered along Colonia Road as well as East 1st Street and Juanita Avenue. Collisions with severe injuries occur across the study area with limited patterns, and there was one fatal collision within the quarter mile study area. 414
29 | Oxnard Safe Routes to School Appendices
Pedestrian collisions are spread fairly evenly across the buffer area, with concentrations around Camino del Sol and Gotita Way and along Cooper Road, Colonia Road, and Juanita Avenue. Bicycle collisions are also prevalent along Camino del Sol especially where it intersects with Colonia Road. 415
30 | Appendix B School Technical Reports
Putting all this information together, collisions surrounding Cesar Chavez K-8 School involving someone under the age of 16 tend to be those that result in a severe injury or fatality, particularly on streets in the northern part of the buffer area. Collisions resulting in a severe injury or fatality have also more likely involved a pedestrian than collisions that have resulted in minor injuries. 416
31 | Oxnard Safe Routes to School Appendices

1.2 Injury Collision Summary
There were 46 injury collisions between 2016-2020 within a quarter mile radius of Cesar Chavez School. One collision resulted in a fatality and four collisions resulted in a severe injury. Four of these collisions involved a pedestrian. Fourteen collisions (30%) within a quarter mile radius of the school involved someone under the age of 16, primarily vehicle passengers. Six of the collisions involving an individual under the age of 16 also involved a bicyclist or pedestrian. These collisions occurred throughout the study area, with a pattern along Colonia Road, 1st Street, and Juanita Avenue. There was one fatal collision during the 5-year study period that involved a pedestrian under the age of 16 crossing in a crosswalk at the intersection of Anita Avenue & Cooper Road.

Two other pedestrians were injured in this collision. The intersection is a three-legged intersection with a standard crosswalk on the east leg of this intersection. It is side-street stop controlled on the north leg.

Action During Collisions
The leading violations were Vehicle Right of Way Violation (24%) and Traffic Signals & Signs (15%).

Vehicle Right of Way Violation collisions occurred primarily along 1st Street. Traffic Signals & Signs collisions occurred throughout the area along Camino del Sol, Juanita Avenue, and Cooper Road. 417

2.1 Pre-Walk Audit Activities
In preparation for the walk audit, the SRTS team held a kick-off meeting with key school staff, including Principal Bertha Anguianoto, to discuss the walk audit schedule and walking route.

The discussion covered how students travel to/from school, the preferred routes approaching/ departing school, key physical and perceived barriers, and challenges and successes for arrival/ dismissal activity.

The team learned:
• Most students live in the surrounding neighborhoods and either walk or are driven to/from school. Very few students bike or skateboard to/from school. • Key locations for arrival and dismissal activity include walking through Colonia Park, Gloria Court and the crosswalk near Felicia Court. • Concentrated dismissal results in heavy afternoon congestion • Parking on Gloria Court east of Marquita Street often blocks traffic flow, drivers often make illegal northbound U-turn maneuvers near the school entrance, • Proximity of the on-street angled parking on Marquita Street to the Felicia Court crosswalk poses pedestrian-vehicle conflicts.

2.3 School Perimeter Observations
School perimeter observations refer to observations made along streets that are immediately adjacent to the school property.

North-South Streets
Juanita Avenue
Figure 2. Observed Corridor of Juanita Avenue
• Juanita Avenue between Cooper Road & Gloria Court
- There is a loading zone along the school perimeter that is striped with a red curb and no parking sign for 7 AM-4 PM. Vehicles were observed parking in the loading zone during the restricted hours.
• Juanita Avenue between 1st Street & Colonia Road
- Most students were observed using the sidewalks and designated crosswalks along Juanita Avenue.
423
38 | Appendix B School Technical Reports
• Juanita Avenue & Gloria Court
- The sidewalk and curb ramps on the east leg of this intersection were in poor condition (Figure 3).

Figure 3. Sidewalk condition at Juanita Avenue & Gloria Court - During dismissal period, vehicles parked on Juanita Avenue near the Gloria Court intersection were blocking visibility for vehicles turning at this intersection. • Juanita Avenue & Camino Del Sol
- The pedestrian crossing distance on the west and east legs of this intersection felt long.

They are approximately 90 and 105 feet, respectively.

Marquita Street
Figure 4. Observed Corridor of Marquita Street
424
39 | Oxnard Safe Routes to School Appendices
• Marquita Street & Colonia Road
- No marked crosswalks are present at this intersection; however, new curb ramps are present on each side of the south leg and on the northeast corner (Figure 5).

Figure 5. Marquita Street & Colonia Road
• Marquita Street between Gloria Court & northern Felicia Court - The speed limit along this section is signed for 40 miles per hour, with no school speed limit signage present. This is too fast for a school zone. • Marquita Street between northern Felicia Court & southern Felicia Court - There are two walls along a parking lot on the east side of the street that may be an opportunity to add a mural.
425
40 | Appendix B School Technical Reports
Figure 6. Observed Corridor of Colonia Road

2.4 Walkshed Observations
The “walkshed” refers to areas that are outside of the perimeter of the school, but approximately within a quarter mile distance of the school.

East-West Streets
Colonia Road
• Colonia Road between Marquita Street & Camino Del Sol - The corridor lacks shade, and the sidewalk on the north side of Colonia Road has empty existing tree wells.
426
41 | Oxnard Safe Routes to School Appendices
• Camino Del Sol between Juanita Avenue & Colonia Road
- Camino Del Sol measures nearly 100 feet in width, with multi-lane stop-controlled intersections at Juanita Avenue and Colonia Road, which results in long pedestrian crossing distances and potential conflicts between vehicles given the many possible movements at the intersections. Given that the street ends at Garfield Avenue, the team discussed opportunities to repurpose the excess street capacity for more pedestrian, cyclist and recreational activities.

This could include a linear park, sidewalk widening, a Class I multi-use path and/or green buffers (Figure 8 & 9).

Figure 7. Observed Corridor of Camino Del Sol
Camino Del Sol
Figure 8. Camino Del Sol & Juanita Avenue Figure 9. Camino Del Sol south side 427
42 | Appendix B School Technical Reports
• Camino Del Sol & Gotita Way
- During the walk audit period, a vehicle-pedestrian collision occurred on the south leg of this intersection. There is a streetlight present, but it is in the center median with a single lamp illuminating the north side opposite the Gotita Way driveway.

2.5 Arrival and Dismissal Observations
Observing school dismissal identifies key transportation corridors used to get to and from the school, as well as how parents/guardians and students navigate the dismissal period.

Cesar Chavez has entrances on the west (Juanita Avenue) and east (Marquita Avenue) sides of the school perimeter. Camino Del Sol, Colonia Road, Cooper Road and 1st Street provide access to Juanita Avenue and Marquita Avenue.
- During the dismissal, parents/guardians were observed parking or walking along Juanita Avenue and Marquita Street.
- Some students met their parents/guardians at the school entrance while other students walked off campus on their own.
- In general, elementary students exited to Juanita Avenue and middle school students exited to Marquita Avenue.
- The loading lane along Marquita Avenue, adjacent to the school, was observed to function well with school staff facilitation.
- Some cars were observed double parking during dismissal period. - Some vehicles made midblock U-turns to use the loading lane. - Crossing guards were present on both sides of the school. The Marquita Avenue crossing guard was at the southern Felicia Court intersection (Figure 10) and the Juanita Avenue crossing guard was at the Cooper Road intersection (Figure 11).

Figure 10. Crossing guard on Marquita Avenue &
Felicia Court
Figure 11. Crossing guard on Juanita Avenue &

428
43 | Oxnard Safe Routes to School Appendices
School Bus Observations:
- The bus loading zone is located on Juanita Avenue, north of Cooper Road. Most buses were traveling northbound, and several buses stopped by Chavez after picking up students at Ramona Elementary School.

Crossing Guards:
- Crossing guards are utilized during peak student-travel hours around arrival and dismissal to provide an extra layer of safety for students needing to use crosswalks to get to and from school. Crossing guards are effective at reducing collisions between pedestrians and vehicles.

Crossing guard deployment can result in a 50% decrease in crashes involving pedestrians and a 37% decrease in the number of crashes causing injuries at the crosswalk. Meanwhile, crossing guards increase the frequency that drivers yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk and decrease instances of pedestrians crossing against a walk signal. - The California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices provides standards for crossing guard placement. There are a number of standards depending on if the area is urban or rural, but generally crossing guard are permitted at locations more than 600 feet from a traffic signal or other control device which have 40 or more school pedestrians crossing daily and at least 350 vehicles per hour for two hours of the day. Crossing guards may also be located at four-lane roads with stop signs and at traffic signals depending on hourly vehicle volumes at the intersection.
- At Cesar Chavez School, crossing guards are available at the unsignalized crosswalks immediately adjacent to the campus on Marquita Street to provide safe crossing for students coming from the north, east, and south areas of campus. 429

2. Walk Audit
The purpose of the walk audit is to understand existing conditions for students walking and biking to/from school and for drop off and pick up in order to identify opportunities for infrastructure, programmatic, and operational safety improvements. During the walk audit, the team also observed circulation patterns to identify key routes to school.

Before the walk audit, injury collision data from 2016-2020 and citation data from 2016-2022 were analyzed to understand key trends, such as top violations and crash types for all injury collisions and for injury collisions involving people walking, biking, and anyone under 16 years of age. The collision analysis focused on approximately a quarter mile around the school as student travel activity becomes concentrated closer to the school.

2.1 Pre-Walk Audit Activities
In preparation for the walk audit, the SRTS team held a kick-off meeting with key school staff, including Principal Mark Contreras, to discuss the walk audit schedule and walking route. The discussion covered how students travel to/from school, the preferred routes approaching/ departing school, key physical and perceived barriers, and challenges and successes for arrival/ dismissal activity.

The team learned:
• 450 students enrolled in grades 9-12 attend Condor but attend classes virtually and go to their home schools.
• A few students (~20) meet at the Condor administrative location for extracurricular activities like student government.
• There could be opportunities to improve communication between Condor and home schools about transportation issues.
• The home school with the largest attendance of Condor students is Pacifica High.

Rio Mesa is one of the more remote schools.
• Channel Islands and Hueneme have the highest concentration of students living with three miles of campus.
438
53 | Oxnard Safe Routes to School Appendices

2.2 Walk Audit Details
Condor High School is a unique campus for high school students compared to other schools in Oxnard. Students attend school in a hybrid manner, attending some classes and activities virtually through an online school program and attending some courses at “home schools” across the school district. The partner schools with Condor include:
• Pacifica High School
• Oxnard High School
• Channel Islands High School
• Hueneme High School
• Rio Mesa High School
• Camarillo High School
Pacifica, Oxnard, Channel Islands, and Hueneme high schools were included in Phase I of Safe Routes to School. Rio Mesa High School will be included in Phase II to be completed by Spring 2025. Camarillo High School is outside the City of Oxnard and therefore not included in the SRTS program. Given the unique nature of Condor’s attendance characteristics, a walk audit was not conducted at the school. For detailed walk audit notes around Condor High School Campus, please refer to Pacifica, Oxnard, Channel Islands, and Hueneme high schools walk audit. 439

2. Walk Audit
• Most students live in the surrounding neighborhoods and either walk, bike or get driven to school.
• Key locations include: Dallas Drive entrance, Raiders Way, Starbucks/Walgreens informal drop-off area, Gary Drive southern gate, and Rose Avenue crosswalk. • Key issues include: queues on southbound Rose Avenue, congestion in the parking lot off Rose Avenue, limited on and off-street parking, and large numbers of students crossing outside of Rose Avenue crosswalk.

The purpose of the walk audit is to understand existing conditions for students walking and biking to/from school and for drop off and pick up in order to identify opportunities for infrastructure, programmatic, and operational safety improvements. During the walk audit, the team also observed circulation patterns to identify key routes to school.

Before the walk audit, injury collision data from 2016-2020 and citation data from 2016-2022 were analyzed to understand key trends, such as top violations and crash types for all injury collisions and for injury collisions involving people walking, biking, and anyone under 16 years of age. The collision analysis focused on approximately a quarter mile around the school as student travel activity becomes concentrated closer to the school.

2.1 Pre-Walk Audit Activities
In preparation for the walk audit, the SRTS team held a kick-off meeting with key school staff, including Assistant Principal David (Topi) Sanchez, to discuss the walk audit schedule and walking route. The discussion covered how students travel to/from school, the preferred routes approaching/departing school, key physical and perceived barriers, and challenges and successes for arrival/dismissal activity.

The team learned:

2.4 Walkshed Observations
The “walkshed” refers to areas that are outside of the perimeter of the school, but approximately within a quarter mile distance of the school.

East-West Streets
Channel Islands Boulevard
• Channel Islands Boulevard and Dallas Drive
- No crosswalks, pedestrians were observed crossing at this uncontrolled location. A new apartment complex is under construction on the north side of this intersection which may increase foot traffic at this location.
- Curb cuts are present on the southbound leg and are in good condition. • Channel Islands Boulevard between Dallas Drive and Rose Avenue - Student drop-offs were observed in the bike lane on Channel Islands Boulevard. - Various pedestrians and students were observed crossing Channel Islands Boulevard at the shopping center driveway to access the Starbucks and other commercial establishments on the north side of Channel Islands Boulevard.
454
69 | Oxnard Safe Routes to School Appendices
• Channel Islands Boulevard and Rose Avenue
- Crosswalks are present on all four legs of the intersection. All crosswalks are standard crosswalks.

3.5 Arrival and Dismissal Observations
The team observed arrival at two locations: Raiders Way and Dallas Drive near the main entrance of the campus and Gary Drive and Boston Drive at a back gate. Assistant Principal Sanchez had shared that the entrance on Raiders Way is the primary access point for students and parents, as many are coming from the north and northeast. However, observations at both locations were important as the school only recently opened the gate on Gary Drive for arrivals. The school has entrances facing Raiders Way and Gary Drive.

Raiders Way:
- Students on foot often mixed with traffic to cross at Raiders Way and Dallas Drive and crossed and unmarked locations along Raiders Way.
- At the driveway entering Raiders Way and Dallas Drive, vehicles turning left from Raiders Way and entering the driveway straight from Dallas Drive often were in conflict. - Student drop-offs were observed at the DaVita Dialysis Clinic across Raiders Way. - Student drop-offs were occurring in the bike lane along Rose Avenue. - Long vehicle queues were observed on Rose Avenue. The southbound right turn queue extended to Channel Islands Boulevard and the northbound left turn queue was outside the turn pocket.
- Vehicles were observed cutting through the College Park parking lot to proceed across Rose Avenue onto Raiders Way and avoid lengthy left and right turn queues. - Identification was checked before entering the drop off zone.

Gary Drive:
- A staff member was monitoring the back gate at Gary Drive and Boston Drive. Many students were in cars waiting for the gate to open at 8:10am. - Conflicting vehicle movements were observed between northbound left turning cars onto Gary Drive and westbound left turning cars onto Boston Drive. - A student on a bicycle was observed getting hit by the door of another student getting out of a car to be dropped off.
- Students were mostly observed using crosswalks on the south and west legs of the intersection of Gary and Boston.
- Students were walking through College Estates Park to the crosswalk on the west leg of the intersection of Gary and Boston.
- Northbound traffic on Boston had the most queuing. It started the earliest and was persistent through 8:30am.
455
70 | Appendix B School Technical Reports
- Vehicles were observed entering the crosswalk on the south leg due to impaired visibility of cross-traffic.
- Some vehicles made midblock U-turns on Gary Drive after dropping students off. - Some vehicles were double-parked at the gate to drop off students. - One vehicle was observed dropping off on the wrong side of the street. 456

just outside of the quarter mile
study area. The leading causes for
collision were Vehicle Right of Way
Violation (7) and Unsafe Speed (3).
6 of the right of way violations were
due to drivers not yielding after a
left turn or U-turn. There are left
turn pockets for all approaches, but
only left turn phases for EB/WB
traffic. 3 of the 12 collisions at this
intersection involved NB or SB left
turns.

There was a concentration of 4
collisions at the signalized
intersection of Wooley Road and
Offshore Street. Offshore Street is
the western boundary of campus.

There were multiple causes for
collision, including Vehicle Right of
Way Violation, Unsafe Speed, Traffic
Signals & Signs, and Improper
Turning. There are left turn pockets
for EB/WB traffic and dedicated turn
phases
There were two collisions at the
side-street stop-controlled
intersection of Wooley Road and
Kelp Lane. Kelp Lane is the east
boundary of campus. Both were
broadside collisions, and one
involved a left hand-turn from the
stop-controlled leg. There was one
bicyclist-involved collision on
Wooley Road between Offshore
Street and Kelp Street. The collision
was a head-on collision caused by
an unsafe lane change by the
vehicle. Wooley Road is a divided 4-

2. Walk Audit
• Most students live in the surrounding neighborhoods and approximately half get driven to school. Few students bike or walk to school. • Bus service is provided for students with special needs. • Key locations include: Offshore Street pick-up zone, Via Marina Park, and Via Marina Avenue & Masthead Drive intersection.
• Key issues include: un-staggered dismissal leading to afternoon congestion, limited parking, and a lack of high visibility crosswalks and flashing beacons near the school at key locations (e.g. Offshore Street and Via Marina Avenue).

The purpose of the walk audit is to understand existing conditions for students walking and biking to/from school and for drop off and pick up in order to identify opportunities for infrastructure, programmatic, and operational safety improvements. During the walk audit, the team also observed circulation patterns to identify key routes to school.

Before the walk audit, injury collision data from 2016-2020 and citation data from 2016-2022 were analyzed to understand key trends, such as top violations and crash types for all injury collisions and for injury collisions involving people walking, biking, and anyone under 16 years of age. The collision analysis focused on approximately a quarter mile around the school as student travel activity becomes concentrated closer to the school.

2.1 Pre-Walk Audit Activities

2.3 School Perimeter Observations
School perimeter observations refer to observations made along streets that are immediately adjacent to the school property.

North-South Streets
Offshore Street:

Figure 2. Observed corridor of Offshore Street
• Offshore Street & Via Marina Avenue
- It was observed that automobiles struggled to proceed smoothly through this intersection during the pick-up time. If a crossing guard is obtained, this may be a good location for deployment.
- The north leg of the intersection was the least used by pedestrians. - Most people who crossed the intersection were walking to their vehicles parked north and west of the intersection.
• Offshore Street between Via Marina Avenue & Keel Avenue - The on-street parking along Offshore Street was not at capacity before the dismissal period. However, the on-street parking was at full capacity shortly before and throughout the dismissal period.
- Several vehicles were observed making U-turns by using driveways or making three-point turns in the middle of Offshore Street.
- The bus loading zone measures approximately 260 feet, which is nearly half of the space 467
82 | Appendix B School Technical Reports
along the western side of the school property. Although the length of the bus loading zone, paired with the school parking lot closure limits the amount of space for vehicle parking in front of the school, the streets within a block of the school entrance were not at full capacity. - Since the bus loading zone was blocked off with cones, several vehicles used the travel lane next to the cones as a waiting/loading zone and school staff would tell the driver to wait/ pick up elsewhere.

East-West Streets
Via Marina Avenue:

Figure 3. Observed corridor of Via Marina Avenue
• Via Marina Avenue between Offshore Street & Masthead Drive - No designated parking signs were seen along this portion of Via Marina Avenue. • Via Marina Avenue & Masthead Drive
- This intersection was very busy during pick-up time. Students were waiting in groups with adult supervision on the south side of the intersection, in front of school. Parents/guardians were observed walking to this area from all directions, including from Via Marina Avenue, Masthead Drive and Lookout Drive. Masthead Drive appeared to be the primary place for parents/guardians to park their vehicles and walk to the school to pick up their students. - This intersection is offset from the McAuliffe driveway exit. There is a continental crosswalk connecting the northeast and southwest corners. Although there is a marked crosswalk, the majority of parents/guardians walked outside of the marked crosswalk from the northeast to the southeast corner where their students were waiting. 468
83 | Oxnard Safe Routes to School Appendices
- There are no marked crosswalks on the north leg of the intersection or across the driveway, though these street segments were frequently crossed by pedestrians. - Vehicles were observed parking in front curb ramps at stop-controlled intersections, in crosswalks, and in front of fire hydrants. Although parking is not permitted at these locations, there were no red curb markings to reinforce the parking prohibitions. • Via Marina Avenue between Masthead Drive & Lookout Drive - Parents/guardians were observed crossing in the middle of Via Marina Avenue between Masthead Drive & Lookout Drive to pick up their children. • Via Marina Avenue & Lookout Drive
- The continental crosswalk on the east leg was observed to be hidden by shade created by a tree during the time of the audit (Figure 4).
- Parents/guardians were observed crossing on the west side of the intersection, outside of the marked crosswalk, as that was the most direct path to the school entrance.

Figure 4. East leg crosswalk on Via Marina Avenue & Lookout Drive • Via Marina Avenue & Kelp Street
- There is an existing standard crosswalk on the south leg of the intersection.

2.4 Walkshed Observations
The “walkshed” refers to areas that are outside of the perimeter of the school, but approximately within a quarter mile distance of the school.
469
84 | Appendix B School Technical Reports
Figure 5. Observed corridor of Offshore Street
• Offshore Street & Keel Avenue
- There is an existing standard crosswalk on the north leg of the intersection (Figure 6). - The curb radii on all corners were observed to be large, which allows vehicles to turn quickly and extends the pedestrian crossing distance. Tightening the curb radii would slow down turning vehicles, shorten pedestrian crossing distances, and improve pedestrian visibility. This could be done as part of street resurfacing.

Figure 6. North leg crosswalk on Offshore Street & Keel Avenue North-South Streets
Offshore Street:

- The curb radii on the southern corners were observed to be large, which allows vehicles to turn quickly and extends the pedestrian crossing distance. Tightening the curb radii would slow down turning vehicles, shorten pedestrian crossing distances, and improve pedestrian visibility. This could be done as part of street resurfacing.

Kelp Street:

Figure 7. Observed corridor of Kelp Street
• Kelp Street & Lee Place
- There was a white crosswalk on the south leg of this intersection. Though it is not immediately connected to the school, it may need to be repainted yellow given its proximity. 471
86 | Appendix B School Technical Reports
Figure 8. Stop Sign and Curb on Kelp Street
• Kelp Street & Keel Avenue
- The stop sign for the southbound approach appeared to be smaller than the size recommended for a conventional road in the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) (Figure 8).
- The curb radii on the northern corners were observed to be large, which allows vehicles to turn quickly and extends the pedestrian crossing distance. Tightening the curb radii would slow down turning vehicles, shorten pedestrian crossing distances, and improve pedestrian visibility. This could be done as part of street resurfacing. (Figure 8). 472

2.5 Arrival and Dismissal Observations
School dismissal was observed as Principal Blevins shared the dismissal is generally more congested and challenging than the arrival period. The team observed dismissal at the school site and the adjacent streets.
• The school entrance faces Via Marina Avenue and Offshore Street. Parents/guardians were observed approaching the school from Via Marina Avenue, Offshore Street, Masthead Drive, Lookout Drive, Kelp Street, and Keel Avenue.
• During the dismissal period, the driveway along Offshore Street to the school parking lot is closed with cones and parents/guardians are not permitted to enter to pick-up students. • To improve pick-up traffic flow, the school principal has instructed parents/guardians to park in the vicinity of the school, such as on Via Marina Avenue & Offshore Street. The majority of parents/guardians were observed walking to the school entrance to pick up their student and walk back to their parked vehicles (Figure 11). Many parents/guardians were observed crossing midblock outside of a marked crosswalk (Figure 12). 474
89 | Oxnard Safe Routes to School Appendices

Figure 14. Vehicle parked along bus loading zone
• Students were waiting to be picked up along the south side of Via Marina Avenue between Masthead Drive and Lookout Drive as well as the paved semi-circle along Offshore Street between the two school driveways.
• The bus loading zone along Offshore Street is coned off every afternoon to discourage parents/ guardians from parking in the loading zone (Figure 13). Automobiles were observed waiting next to the cones in the travel lane, which would block other cars from traveling through and occasionally block buses from exiting the loading zone (Figure 14). 475

1.2 Injury Collision Summary
There were 42 injury collisions between 2016-2020 within a quarter mile radius of Curren Elementary and Middle School. Four (9%) collisions resulted in someone killed or severely injured (KSI), and three of those collisions involved a pedestrian. Nineteen percent of all injury collisions and 25% of KSI collisions involved someone under 16 years of age. One of the victims of a severe injury collision was a 3-year-old. Collisions were primarily concentrated on H Street and C Street.

Action During Collisions
The three leading violations which led to collisions were Vehicle Right of Way Violations (19%), which primarily occurred at stop-controlled intersections, Unsafe Speeds (19%), and Improper Turning (19%). Most of the Vehicle Right of Way Violations were stop sign/red light running and occurred on streets throughout the study area, including H Street, G Street, F Street, and Glenwood Drive. Unsafe Speeds mostly occurred on H Street, with an a small concentration near the intersection of Glenwood Drive and C Street. Improper turning violations were similarly spread across the study area, with most occurring on H Street and C Street. Six of the eight collisions involving a pedestrian occurred due to a driver not yielding to the pedestrian in the crosswalk.

Five of these collisions occurred on H Street between Kentwood Drive and Robert Avenue. 480

intersection, which is subject to
moderate instances of harsh
acceleration and hard braking.

There were two collisions at this
location caused by drivers driving
under the influence.

There were two collisions that
resulted in a severe injury along this
segment. One was a hit object
collision at the McKinley Avenue
intersection caused by Unsafe
Speed. The other was a pedestrianinvolved collision at the Bonita Avenue intersection. A northbound
driver was making a U-Turn and
collided with a pedestrian. The
pedestrian action was not reported,
but there are no marked crosswalks
at the intersection. These collisions
occurred one block apart.

Eastwood Drive &
Devonshire Drive Alley 2
One of the collisions resulted in a
severe injury and occurred on G
Street near the crosswalk north of
Devonshire Drive. A pedestrian
under 16 years of age was crossing
outside of the crosswalk and was
involved in a collision with a driver
traveling northbound on G Street.

The other collision occurred on F

2. Walk Audit
The purpose of the walk audit is to understand existing conditions for students walking and biking to/from school and for drop off and pick up in order to identify opportunities for infrastructure, programmatic, and operational safety improvements. During the walk audit, the team also observed circulation patterns to identify key routes to school.

Before the walk audit, injury collision data from 2016-2020 and citation data from 2016-2022 were analyzed to understand key trends, such as top violations and crash types for all injury collisions and for injury collisions involving people walking, biking, and anyone under 16 years of age. The collision analysis focused on approximately a quarter mile around the school as student travel activity becomes concentrated closer to the school.

2.1 Pre-Walk Audit Activities
As part of the preparations for the walk audit, the SRTS team organized virtual kick-off meetings, inviting key staff members from participating schools. This school either declined the invitations or confirmed their participation after the walk audit had already been conducted. 484

The concentration of these collisions
occurred at the Hemlock Street
intersection, which is subject to relatively
high instances of harsh accelerations
and hard brakes. Unsafe Speeds: 6 of the
7 Unsafe Speeds collisions along
Ventura Road occurred at this
intersection. Traffic Signals and Signs: All
7 of the Traffic Signals and Signs
collisions along Ventura Road occurred
at this intersection. Each was the result
of the driver not stopping at the
designated line, leading to a broadside
collision. One collision involved a
southbound bicycle riding on the wrong
side of the road leading to broadside
collision at the Iris Street intersection.

J Street 16 Unsafe Speeds (6)
Driving Under the Influence (5)
The cause of collision varied in each of
the 5 collisions that occurred on J Street,
along the border of the school between
Cedar Street & Fir Avenue. The collisions
involved Unsafe Speed, Pedestrian
Violation – a pedestrian crossing outside
a sidewalk, Vehicle Right of Way
Violation, DUI and Following Too
Closely. Each of the collisions, except for
the DUI, involved a victim under the age
of 16. Along J Street there is a collision
cluster at the Hemlock Street
intersection (8). Unsafe Speed (4) and
DUI (2) were the leading causes of
collisions.

Hemlock Street 6
Half of these collisions occurred during
daylight hours. Improper turning was
the cause for half of these collisions (3),
which led to 2 sideswipes and 1 rear
end. One of the six collisions involved a
westbound vehicle striking a 62-year-old
pedestrian not crossing in a crosswalk at
the M Street intersection.

2. Walk Audit
• Most students walk or get dropped off from surrounding neighborhoods, a small percentage of students take the bus.
• Key locations include: the northeastern corner of J Street (crossing guard location) and an alley parallel to the large parking lot where parents have open parking opportunities.
• Key issues include: double parking on N Street, a large number of students being dismissed at the same time, and congested alley access south of the campus (north of Fir Avenue) due to parents driving in both directions.

The purpose of the walk audit is to understand existing conditions for students walking and biking to/from school and for drop off and pick up in order to identify opportunities for infrastructure, programmatic, and operational safety improvements. During the walk audit, the team also observed circulation patterns to identify key routes to school.

Before the walk audit, injury collision data from 2016-2020 and citation data from 2016-2022 were analyzed to understand key trends, such as top violations and crash types for all injury collisions and for injury collisions involving people walking, biking, and anyone under 16 years of age. The collision analysis focused on approximately a quarter mile around the school as student travel activity becomes concentrated closer to the school.

2.1 Pre-Walk Audit Activities
In preparation for the walk audit, the SRTS team held a kick-off meeting with key school staff, including Principal Erika Ragan, to discuss the walk audit schedule and walking route. The discussion covered how students travel to/from school, the preferred routes approaching/departing school, key physical and perceived barriers, and challenges and successes for arrival/dismissal activity.

The team learned:

2.5 Arrival and Dismissal Observations
Kindergarten dismissal, approximately 150 students, was observed by the team from 1:25 PM to 1:40 PM. The team observed this dismissal along N Street. First through fifth grade dismissal, approximately 400 students, was observed by the team from 2:15 PM to 2:35 PM. The team observed the first through fifth grade dismissal at several locations, including along N Street, the alley between N Street and J Street, and J Street.

N Street:
- The parking lot along N Street is closed during dismissal, and the team observed double parking on N Street.
- During kindergarten dismissal, staff put cones out on N Street to ensure visibility of the red curb.
- The cones were moved at 2:37 PM. Followed in by two others, the school staff told the team he typically moves the cones at 2:35 to let parents in. - Bus drivers needed to move the cones.
- The curve along N Street makes parking difficult.
- U-turns on N Street contributing to congestion at Date Street curve. - There was a lot of crossing at the curve where walkway lets out. - Some parking was observed in the west leg crosswalk. A curb extension at this leg of the crosswalk could prevent parking.
- Pedestrians were observed to be using south leg crosswalk and driveway crosswalk.

North Alley:
- Double parking was observed in the alley between N and J Street. - Some parents parked in the alley in front of school for pick up. People parked in both direction and in the travel lanes.
- During the first through fifth grade dismissal, there was a crossing guard at J Street and north alley.

South Alley:
- The south alley has very poor pavement condition.

J Street:
- The parking lot along the alley is accessible via J Street. The team observed open spots where parents could park.
- During the first through fifth grade dismissal, there was a crossing guard at J Street and north alley.
- During first through fifth grade dismissal, students were observed walking northbound on J Street.
- When students leave through the gate on J Street, they need to “u-turn” to parking. 509
124 | Appendix B School Technical Reports
Elm Street:
- Parking on Elm Street increased approximately five minutes before dismissal. Before dismissal, it was empty.
- Back up was observed between Elm Street and Date Street when northbound vehicles waited for people crossing.
- Double parking on Elm Street caused honking during dismissal.

Ventura Road:
- The team had questions about activities on Ventura Road, particularly at Date Street versus at ElmStreet. Date Street appeared to be the more desirable path west.

General Observations:
- The team estimates that 100 students enter and exit through the back gate of the school. - A digital sign was present that said “Parents don’t walk across parking lot. Use sidewalk” - The team observed wayfinding signage indicating pick-up location for different grades. - Many parents parked and walked into the school to pick up their children. - For a 2:30PM dismissal, conditions were mostly to all clear by 2:40 PM. - Generally, drivers yielded well at crosswalks.
- The team observed approximately 15 to 20 cars parked in the lot. - The team observed speeds increasing after dismissal.
