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. Linked to National Strategic Plan 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. Linked to National Strategic Plan Goal 3 - Provide outdoor recreation opportunities, objective 2. Page 134
September 2005 Land Management Plan Part 2 Los Padres National Forest Strategy Trans 3 - Improve Trails Develop an interconnected, shared-use trail network and support facilities that complement local, regional and national trails and open space, and that also enhance day-use opportunities and access for the general public: • Construct and maintain the trail network to levels commensurate with area objectives, sustainable resource conditions, and the type and level of use. • Consider conversion of suitable unclassified roads and trails, and other roads that meet the need for trail-based recreation. • Consider incorporation of unclassified trails to the National Forest System of trails when site- specific trail analysis determines there is a public need for the trail and it is consistent with other ecosystem needs. • Maintain and/or develop access points and connecting trails linked to surrounding communities and create opportunities for non-motorized trips of short duration. Linked to National Strategic Plan Goal 3 - Provide outdoor recreation opportunities, objective 1. Trans 4 - Off-Highway Vehicle Opportunities Improve off-highway vehicle opportunities and facilities for highway licensed and non-highway licensed vehicles where compatible with other ecosystem objectives: • Improve off-highway vehicle opportunities in the easy, more, and most difficult route categories. • In conjunction with the designation of low maintenance standard roads develop motorized trails that address the needs of off-highway vehicle enthusiasts. • Submit candidate roads and trails to the State of California Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Division for designation as the California Back Country Discovery Trail as opportunities to afford this experience are identified. Linked to National Strategic Plan Goal 3 - Provide outdoor recreation opportunities, objective 2. Page 135
