Land Management Plan - Part 2 Los Padres National Forest Strategy

Land Management Plan Part 2
Los Padres National Forest Strategy
Trans 1 - Transportation System
September 2005
Plan, design, construct, and maintain the National Forest System roads and trails to meet forest
plan objectives, to promote sustainable resource conditions, and to safely accommodate
anticipated levels and types of use:
• Implement landscape-scale transportation system analysis on a priority basis. Coordinate
with state, county, local and regional government entities, municipalities, tribal governments,
other agencies, and the public.
• Add unclassified roads to the National Forest System of roads when site-specific road
analysis determines there is a public need for the road.
• Enhance user safety and offer adequate parking at popular destinations on high traffic
passenger car roads, while also minimizing adverse resource effects.
• Using priorities identified in the roads analysis process reduce the road maintenance backlog
to provide safe, efficient routes for recreationists and through-traveling public, and to safely
accommodate fire protection equipment and other high clearance vehicles.

Goal 3 - Provide outdoor recreation opportunities, objective 1, and
Goal 1- Reduce the risk from catastrophic wildland fire, objective 2.
Trans 2 - Unnecessary Roads
Reduce the number of unnecessary or redundant unclassified roads and restore landscapes:
• Decommission roads determined to be unnecessary for conversion to either the road or trail
system through site-specific road analysis.
• Establish level of restoration through project planning.
