Note: |
Ventura County has plans for an approximately 30 mile rail with trail, of which the Fillmore trail is one section. Under pressure from adjacent agricultural landowners, the VCTC signed an agreement that the rural sections will not be developed until at least the year 2015. The urban sections in Ventura and Santa Paula are on track for development in the near future, however. |
