Develop recommendations for the repositioning or development of additional priers to improve visitor access Approach: • Review existing piers • Review prior efforts /progress in support of the objective • Assess what businesses and amenities boaters desire to visit • Assess where public piers (or the absence thereof) limit boater access to the desired businesses or amenities • Recommend where the City is likely to achieve the highest returns on investments in Public Piers Steps taken: • Collected information on prior efforts supporting this objective • Conducted review of existing public piers • Reviewed shore side businesses, services and amenities boaters wish to visit using peer harbor and boating community member sources • Refined objective: 1. Improve use of existing piers to facilitate visitor access to harbor area businesses and amenities 2. Identify opportunities for additional piers to facilitate visitor access • Developed recommendations in support of the objective • Banked suggestions /recommendations for improvements to Public Piers that were not in direct support of this objective Observations: the strengths Observations: - the challenges Maintenance, cleanliness, signage, boater usability � f- Observations - the businesses and amenities boaters most desire to visit when they come ashore: 1.

Perform more frequent (weekly) and extensive cleaning and maintenance of all existing public piers and floats avoiding the "Broken Window Syndrome" 2. Add a dedicated function equivalent to the City "Park Ranger" to enforce rules, identify areas /amenities requiring more attention, raise awareness and improve appeal of the facilities and emphasize the presence of this function during busy days /times of harbor use 3. Institute a "sponsorship" or "Adopt -a- dock" program approaching businesses, community organizations and /or individuals to partner with the City to ensure the various public docks are well maintained, safe, clean and signage is intact, complete and accurate 4. Reconstruct /reconfigure docks to better insulate piles /pilings from boats that want to make use of floats and optimize available space 5. Add /improve amenities on the public piers that boaters use including public restrooms, fresh water, 30A electricity, upland loading zones, bike racks and marine recycling facilities Proposed Recommendations related to Opportunities for Additional Piers: 1. Develop new public pier at Lido Marina Village 2. Develop new public pier at Balboa Marina (Cal Rec) 3. Develop new public pier at Lower Castaways 4. Develop new public pier at the northwest base of the Lido Isle Bridge 5.
