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.
