The Ventura County Board of Supervisors approved a project today to rehabilitate several west-side parking lots along Harbor Blvd. The upgrades will improve safety, accessibility, and lighting. This project is part of the Ventura County Harbor Department’s ongoing effort to upgrade harbor infrastructure, following recent parking lot improvements at Kiddie Beach, Silver Strand, Channel View Park, and the harbor boat launch ramp. More improvements ahead for the harbor! For more info about the project, check out the bio link. #channelislandsharbor #venturacounty #oxnard #ciharbor #harborlife
