Aspire Communications - Encroachment Permit for Micro-Trenching of Fiber Optic Cables within City of Moorpark Right-of-Way

The Aspire Communications project involves an encroachment permit for the micro-trenching of fiber optic cables within the City of Moorpark right-of-way. Located at the intersection of Moorpark Avenue (State Route 23) and Second Street in Ventura County, the project focuses on signing and striping improvements. The specific scope of work includes the removal of existing in-pavement flashing crosswalk lights, the replacement of existing rapid flashing beacons and pedestrian warning signs with new rectangular rapid flashing beacons and signs, and the restriping of marked pedestrian crosswalks. The City of Moorpark serves as the lead agency, with Doug Spondello, the Community Development Director, acting as the primary project applicant. The project is classified under NAICS code 237130 and has been granted a Class 1 categorical exemption under California Code of Regulations Section 15301, as detailed in the Notice of Exemption filed in July 2025. This forecast project is coordinated through the City of Moorpark's Community Development department to ensure necessary infrastructure improvements accompany the fiber optic installation.
