Connecting Communities
The City of Ventura’s Eastside Neighborhood Greenway Project proposes an Active Transportation initiative spanning south of Highway 126, extending from Ventura Community Park at Kimball Road to the gateway of unincorporated Saticoy at Wells Road. This project aims to enhance connectivity along Thille St, Medford St, Waco St, and Darling Rd.
Improving Accessibility
The proposed improvements link residents to vital destinations, including local job hubs, educational institutions such as Citrus Glen Elementary, ATLAS School, and Sacred Heart K-8, and essential amenities like grocery stores. Furthermore, the project aims to facilitate access to recreational areas such as Ventura Community Park, Chumash Park, and the Huntsinger Sports Complex.
How can you help?
This project is a grant application for the Caltrans ATP Cycle 7 Program which would provide all project funding with no City matching funds. To support the grant application and future development of the Eastside Neighborhood Greenway, we invite you to take the project survey
Promoting Active Transportation
Active transportation encompasses human-powered modes of travel such as walking, wheelchair rolling, biking, scootering, and skateboarding. It is a cornerstone of our transportation system, fostering personal health benefits, reducing carbon emissions, and offering enjoyable, affordable, and efficient travel options for all.
Creating Neighborhood Greenways
Neighborhood greenways are characterized by low-traffic, low-speed streets prioritizing pedestrians, cyclists, and rollers. Utilizing various enhancements such as speed humps and mini traffic circles, these greenways cultivate a serene environment conducive to walking, cycling, and rolling by mitigating vehicle speeds and deterring traffic.
A Step Towards Sustainable Mobility
This project aligns with the broader Ventura Active Transportation Plan (ATP) adopted in January 2024, which serves as a strategic framework for implementing priority projects and programs. By enhancing pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, the Ventura ATP aims to make walking, bicycling, and transit attractive for residents, workers, and visitors.
