Daley Ranch Master Plan - City of Escondido

C. Trails
accordance with recommendations of the wildlife agencies. The City
anticipates using credits from the Daley Ranch Conservation Bank for
mitigation, should the road improvements affecting biological resources
be constructed.
The park rangers and the caretaker will monitor the condition of all roads
and trails on a monthly basis. On an annual basis, the City's Public Works
Department staff will inspect the condition of all roads and trails. Repair
work will be scheduled, as conditions require. The majority of the repair
work will be done by City staff, but it is the City's intent to utilize
volunteers to do various trail maintenance projects that require only hand
labor. These projects will vary from repair of eroded areas to cutting back
overgrown vegetation along the trails. In all cases, this work will be done
under the supervision of a park ranger. Repair work involving
reconfiguration and regrading of trails will require consultation with the
City Planning Division to insure that biological and archaeological
resources are not negatively affected.
The existing trails on Daley Ranch vary from the 12-foot wide multipurpose
service roads to single track trails. Presently there are seven trails
that have been named and marked. Most of these are loops that bring the
user back to the starting point. The trails range from 1.4 miles up to 5.5
miles. They provide a wide variety of experiences since there are
significant changes in elevation on most trails. All trails are designated as
multi-use and are posted with the international yield signs. Additional
existing trails are proposed to remain as shown on Figure 6 - Circulation
