Conditions at the Pier and upland areas were observed and discussed, with <strong>City</strong><br />
concerns noted. A tropical storm had passed through the area over the preceding<br />
several days, but the Pier and upland structures were apparently not damaged. Water<br />
had collected in the parking lots, reportedly due to debris clogging the basin gratings.<br />
Tide levels were higher than normal due to the storm.<br />
A. Upland Areas<br />
The upland areas consist <strong>of</strong> an access road leading from Bayshore Drive along the 2 nd<br />
Avenue North axis to the Pier, with large parking lots and lawn areas on either side <strong>of</strong><br />
the access road. Utilities serving the pier are also located along this access road<br />
corridor. The access road leads to a small entry plaza before the road continues onto<br />
the Pier structure. The following is a visual evaluation and summary <strong>of</strong> discussions on<br />
the upland area:<br />
1. Access Road<br />
The Access Road is a two lane road with the lanes separated by a planted median.<br />
See Photo 1. The pavement section is not known at this time. Information on the<br />
composition <strong>of</strong> the road can perhaps be gathered from the <strong>City</strong>, or pavement cores can<br />
be obtained. The Access Road pavement is in poor condition, with many cracks<br />
extending in all directions.<br />
The east- and westbound roadways are separated by a vibrant planted median. The<br />
Access Road is flanked by rows <strong>of</strong> mature trees and pedestrian walkways in fair<br />
condition. The Access Roadway is flanked by pedestrian walkways in fair condition.<br />
There is no separate bikeway in this area.
