Statement of Issue: Should the city create a physical separation between restaurant valet
parking and the remainder of Pier Plaza in order to protect pedestrians from potential injury?
Funding Source: General Fund Unappropriated, Undesignated Fund Balance, $9,000.
Recommended Action: Authorize the Director of Administrative Services to appropriate
$9,000 from the General Fund Unappropriated, Undesignated Fund Balance into Beach
Maintenance Account #10045206.69365 to create a physical barrier between the Pier Plaza
public space and restaurants' valet parking area in order to prevent potential injury to the
public.
Alternative Action(s): (1) Place additional caution signs or (2) take no action at this time.
Analysis: There currently exist low bollards throughout sections of Pier Plaza to restrict
access, primarily from vehicles. The area between Pier Plaza and the valet parking for the
restaurants was designed with a rolled curb and bollards to prevent vehicles from accessing
the plaza. Pedestrian traffic still has the ability to walk between bollards through this area;
however, this poses potential safety problems. Some pedestrians are slipping on the rolled
curb. The city has considered alternatives such as a normal 90-degree angle curb, but it was
felt that such curb might jolt people who are not paying attention, causing them to walk off the
edge of the curb. The city has put caution striping on the rolled curb as well as signs on the
bollards to identify the potential hazard. However, these measures have been unsuccessful.
Therefore, staff is recommending that taller bollards be purchased and installed with
decorative chain strung between the bollards. This will create a physical barrier between the
restaurant valet parking drop-off area and the public. Staff considered adapting the existing
bollards, but found they are too low and would still create a potential tripping

hazard for the public. The cost of these modifications is $9,000. The bollards that are
removed would be used as replacements in other areas of Pier Plaza.
Council Policy Regarding Request for an Appropriation of Funds: As adopted by the City
Council on March, 1998, all requests for appropriation of funds must meet one of the
following criteria: (1) The request is an unanticipated emergency, (2) the request is required
to implement labor negotiations, or (3) the request will be offset by related new revenues.
The new appropriation being requested is due to an unanticipated emergency. It has come
to our attention from members of the public and the restaurant staff that the roll curb creates
a potential safety hazard for people walking between the restaurants' valet drop-off area and
the Plaza, therefore, the recommended action is to create a barrier between the two areas.
