Moorpark's public works committee will discuss crosswalks, parking limits and road repairs at a special meeting Monday, Oct. 12. The session begins at 5:45 p.m. in City Hall Council Chambers, 323 Science Drive.
The agenda lists five items, all verbal presentations with no written staff reports. City Engineer Daniel Kim will present the crosswalk and Arroyo Drive items. Assistant Engineer Linda Myszkowski will present the parking, red-curb and pavement proposals.
The highest-profile item is a discussion of stop-sign warrants and whether crosswalks should be marked or unmarked. The topic comes after a Sept. 14 committee meeting at which five Moorpark residents urged the city to install a crosswalk on Meridian Hills Drive, according to committee minutes.
At that meeting, Kim presented pedestrian safety concerns along the street. Mayor Pro Tem Dr. Antonio Castro directed staff to return with a warrants analysis and options for traffic controls at High Country Place and Breezy Glen Drive.
Two parking proposals will also go before the committee. One would triple the parking time limit on 3rd Street outside the Moorpark Preschool Early Childhood Center, changing it from five minutes to 15 minutes. The preschool sits on the 3rd Street side of Flory School at 240 Flory Ave. and runs morning and afternoon class sessions.
A second proposal would add roughly 300 feet of red-curb no-parking markings along the southeast corner of Flinn Avenue, starting at the Spring Road traffic signal. In January 2026, the committee reviewed a similar red-curb proposal for Lassen Avenue and Princeton Avenue, according to meeting minutes.
The committee will also hear an update on the Arroyo Drive Improvement Project. The project would resurface the roadway, add sidewalks on the south side, create bike lanes and install drainage improvements. The work would stretch from the railroad crossing east to the Simi Valley city limit, the Moorpark Acorn reported in August 2025. No current timeline or cost estimate is publicly available.
The fifth item is the 2026/27 Pavement Management Program. The city issued a request for proposals for an updated Pavement Analysis Report on Sept. 3, with proposals due Oct. 1, according to the city's pavement project page. Once new Pavement Condition Index scores are calculated, staff can select streets for rehabilitation next year.
Before the 2026 project, Moorpark's citywide average PCI score was 68 out of 100, rated "Good." The city receives $800,000 to $950,000 annually in Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) gas-tax funds earmarked for road maintenance.
Mayor Chris Enegren and Dr. Castro are the committee's voting members. Councilmember Tom Means is the alternate.
The meeting is open to the public. Residents who need disability-related accommodations should contact the Public Works Department at (805) 517-6240 at least 48 hours before the meeting.
