Document Description
A public works project to improve safety and accessibility at a public beach. The project consists of upgrades and repairs to two existing staircases; establishment of four parking spaces for people with disabilities; new viewing platform, view area, portable restroom, and temporary beach access gangway/mat and an Initial Management Plan. One existing staircase and overlook would be reconstructed at the beach terminus of West Sea Level Drive. An existing staircase and pathway to be improved (Lot 1) spans the area from the intersection of Bunnie Lane and Broad Beach Road, south to the beach terminus of East Sea Level Drive. Improvements include demolition, reconstructing stairs and handrails, limited grading, installing guardrails, stabilizing structures, installing landscaping, a new gate and bike rack at Lot 2 at Broad Beach Road, a new sign at Lot 1 to allow a minor increase of public beach use hours, benches, and kiosk. Three new parking spaces for people with disabilities would be established along East Sea Level Drive and one near West Sea Level Drive. The new parking spaces would include new surfacing and signage, the creation of accessible paths from the spaces to a new viewing platform and temporary gangway at East Sea Level Drive and to the new view area and reconstructed overlook at West Sea Level Drive, and the establishment of a parking access and pass reservation system. The new parking spaces may require demolition of small improvements in the MRCA easement along East Sea Level Drive. The temporary gangway/mats would allow seasonal access to the wet sand for people with disabilities and would be removed when conditions are unfavorable.
