Ventura, CA – The County of Ventura is excited to announce the upcoming paving project for the Ojai Valley Trail, set to commence this month. This essential project aims to enhance safety, accessibility, and overall enjoyment for the community and visitors alike.
The Ojai Valley Trail, a cherished local asset that spans from the City of Ventura through the City of Ojai and provides a vital connection for walkers, cyclists, and nature enthusiasts, will receive significant upgrades. The project includes resurfacing existing paths, tree maintenance, and adding new signage to ensure a safer and more enjoyable experience for all users.
To ensure minimal disruption, the County will implement phased closures of the trail during construction, with closures clearly marked. Phase One will consist of the trail section from Casitas Vista Road at Foster Park to Santa Ana Road in Oak View. Community members are encouraged to stay informed through the County Parks Department website and social media channels for real-time updates on the project’s progress. These improvements will provide a lasting benefit to residents and visitors, making the Ojai Valley Trail an even more inviting destination.
