Intermittent Bikeway Closure for Channel Maintenance

OC Public Works will be conducting vegetation management within the San Juan Creek and Trabuco Creek channels to maintain safe and effective channel operations. Detours along the bike trail will be present and signage will be posted near the project area.

WHAT

Maintenance activity will include cutting of all woody vegetation (small trees, shrubs, and brush) and non-native plant species down to ground level. 

• Native, grassy vegetation will be left in place as much as possible.
• Soil, roots, and channel surfaces will not be disturbed and no excavation will occur.
• Cuttings from select native vegetation will be re-planted at restoration sites. All other cut material will be properly disposed of.
• No herbicides will be used.

Important details:

• This maintenance activity has been reviewed and approved by State and Federal regulatory agencies.
• A biological monitor will be on site daily to ensure that nesting birds and any other sensitive biological resources are not harmed during this essential maintenance.
• The bikeway will remain open except for intermittent closures as needed to accommodate movement of equipment and materials. Signs will be posted for available detour.
