Title

Main Street Moves Project

Description

The proposed Main Street Moves Project is a continuation of the existing temporary closure, initially approved by Ventura City Council on May 18, 2020 and extended six times through January 31, 2025. The project would result in the full-time, long-term closure of Main Street, from Fir Street to Figueroa Plaza; South California Street, from Main Street to the alleys south of Main Street; and North California Street, from Main Street to the North California Street parking lot. The project would also result in the reopening of South California Street, south of the alleys. The project would result in the construction of semi-permanent removeable bollards and crash-rated planters to limit general traffic flow. Overall, up to 69 semi-permanent bollards and up to 20 crash rated planters would be installed within the project site. Figure 3 depicts the general locations of proposed bollards and planters, along with the proposed change in roadway closure or reopening associated with the project. The existing traffic signal at the intersection of South California Street and Santa Clara Street would return to full operation, and the existing traffic signal at the intersection of South California Street and Main Street would be modified to operate as a pedestrian signal for Main Street pedestrian travel. All other traffic signals along Main Street would be permanently modified to flash, as they are currently. The project would result in the potential loss of up to 154 parking spaces on Main Street, the potential loss of up to 12 parking spaces on South California Street, and the potential loss of up to five parking spaces on North California Street, for a total loss of up to 171 parking spaces. The project would retain the existing sidewalk, curb, and gutter configuration.
