We’d like your ideas for a catchy slogan / phrase to be print on the backs of the T-shirts that will be sold by SBIG as a fundraiser at these concerts.

Please e-mail all your ideas to paulmschiro@yahoo.com; we’d love to hear from you. If your submitted phrase / slogan or logo is chosen…a special surprise treat will come your way… Don’t forgot our next meeting is March 9th at 5:30 pm at the Shell Beach Vet’s Hall on Leeward Avenue…we’d love to have you there.

Friday, January 02, 2009 Community Meeting: Monday, February 9, 2009 at 6:00 pm We need the support of the Shell Beach community to finalize the Streetscape Plan for Shell Beach Road. Please attend our Community Meeting, 6:00 pm on February 9th at the Shell Beach Veterans' Building. The purpose of this final workshop for public input before presentation to the Pismo Beach City Council is to decide between two options; one includes traffic calming medians and the other does not. SBIG wants to make sure the plan we present is a community-driven project. The following project goals were determined at prior Community Workshops: 1. Provide a beach community streetscape that is both pedestrian and bike friendly and helps to slow down traffic. 2. Break up linear appearance down Shell Beach Road. 3. Address parking issues. 4. Include lighting, street fixtures, benches and signage. |

Landscape architects Katie O’Reilly Rogers and David Foote (FIRMA) incorporated project goals into a Streetscape Master Plan that ~Provides a beach community streetscape that is both pedestrian and bike friendly ~Breaks up linear appearance down Shell Beach Road ~Addresses parking issues ~Includes lighting, street fixtures, benches and signage. Refuse/recycling containers painted in a beach theme by local artists will be strategically placed on Shell Beach Road. Mutt Mitts to be placed at optimal locations on Shell Beach Road.

Monday, March 10, 2008 Streetscape Designs Selected at Community Workshop At the 2nd Shell Beach Road Streetscape Master Plan workshop, consensus was reached to combine two of the alternatives presented by Katie O'Reilly Rogers. This plan focuses on improvements between Vista Del Mar & Cliff Avenue. David Foote (FIRMA) recapped the project goals from the first workshop: to create a beach community streetscape that is pedestrian friendly and provides for bikes; to breakup the linear appearance down Shell Beach Road, and to address parking issues. Ms. O'Reilly Rogers presented four alternatives and summarized the details of each. After consideration, workshop attendees reached consenus that Plan A, which provides a central median (with plantings) should anchor both ends, and Plan C, which provides a planter strip on the freeway (101) side and angled parking on alternating sides, should be used in the middle section. The presentation included design options for benches, light fixtures, and entry signage. These decisions will be made as the plan progresses. Mr. Foote and Ms. O'Reilly Rogers felt that one more session should be planned for a SBIG meeting before submission to the Planning Commission and City Council. |
