3. Access<br />

As previously noted,<br />

a municipal bus<br />

service has a stop at<br />

the Entrance Plaza.<br />

See Photo 15. The<br />

bus service connects<br />

out to the east end <strong>of</strong><br />

the Pier, with a turnaround<br />

and drop <strong>of</strong>f<br />

at the inverted<br />

pyramid building.<br />

Private cars can also<br />

access this area, for<br />

drop-<strong>of</strong>f or to avail<br />

themselves <strong>of</strong> valet<br />

parking. <strong>City</strong><br />

personnel expressed<br />

concern about such<br />

access under the<br />

new Pier designs.<br />

4. Parking<br />

There is existing<br />

metered parking on<br />

either side <strong>of</strong> the Pier<br />

along the road leading<br />

to the inverted pyramid<br />

building. See Photo<br />

16. During the late<br />

morning/early<br />

afternoon <strong>of</strong> the site<br />

visit (which was on a<br />

Wednesday), the<br />

majority <strong>of</strong> the spaces<br />

were taken. At the<br />

east end <strong>of</strong> the Pier a<br />

number <strong>of</strong> the spaces<br />

are for valet parking.<br />

Buro Happold<br />

requested an inventory<br />

from the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> the<br />

existing parking uses at<br />

the Pier.
