UPDATE 5/14/25

Cyrena Nouzille, Carolyn Trocino, and George Colman attended the City Council Goal Setting Workshop. At 21:30, Carolyn and Cyrena spoke on behalf of the Old Agoura Homeowners Board of Directors and the Everyone Safe Passage project. They focused on supporting the Public Works subcommittee's plan to rehabilitate Chesebro Road from the park entrance to the City's northern limits in early Fiscal Year 26/27. They also supported the continued implementation of the Trails Master Plan and the maintenance, repair, and construction of Old Agoura's trails. The goal under consideration was the design of trails and bikeway improvements in Old Agoura. The plan is to budget consulting fees for the design phase through the end of

2027.

Please look at 1:50:17 to see the recommended goals and possible alternatives. There was consensus on the first-year recommendations of $60k and all felt the trails were a priority. We think this is an excellent win for dog walkers, runners, equestrians, and all who visit Old Agoura!

Latest information from Charmaine Yambao, Senior Civil Engineer in the Public Works Department:

The update provided is on the City's annual pavement rehabilitation program. For this fiscal year, the program includes design of the improvements to Colodny, Chesebro (north of the Chesebro park entrance to the City limits right around Fairview), and the corner of Fairview and Driver.

A topographical survey was completed for the areas listed above, and staff is working on getting design proposals for the project, which will include roadway and drainage improvements. As part of the design proposal, we are asking for an optional task of "trail concept and layout".

From the survey, these two roadways pose some challenges when designing to include drainage improvements. Depending on available funding and goals, the start of construction on the roadway improvements would be by the end of Fiscal Year 2025-26 and straddle into the beginning of Fiscal Year 2026-27. We typically construct pavement projects in the summer, when school is out of session.

The Trail feature and grant funding would be at the direction of the City Council. A place to start is at the goal setting workshops, which are part of the budget setting process. The City adopts a two-fiscal year budget. Currently, staff is preparing to start its next 2-year budget cycles, with goal setting workshops starting in March.

2024 INFORMATION

Below is a link to an article in The Acorn.

City Manager Nathan Hamberger is quoted as saying the following:

“As to the road repairs on Chesebro, it appears that we will be able to move up that work to this summer when we do our annual road repair and overlay project,” City Manager Nathan Hamburger said. The trail expansion is also possible, but might necessitate the acquisition of additional grant funding. “Presently, this item is not on our work plan but that doesn’t mean that it couldn’t be added to future fiscal year plans,” Hamburger said.
