Lesley Miller expressed concern that the proposal will not work as it is being piecemealed
with the proposed shuttle program. She further added that the Peninsula is a single unit
and should be treated as such. Lastly, she reported there are not enough parking meters
near ExplorOcean and noted that the area is dirty.
Howard Hall reported that he had previously recommended stopping the RP3 boundary at
Medina Way and commented on concerns related to phasing the project. He spoke in
opposition to impacting eastern Balboa Peninsula and suggested that if blocks beyond
Medina Way are included, then some areas near Adams Street should be excluded from
the program.
W.R. Dildine commented on the length of time this item has been considered and
suggested moving forward with it and presenting it to City Council. He addressed spill
over into other neighborhoods and encouraged BVAC to give the project a chance.
Jim Mosher referenced his written comments, the maps, and related statistics in the staff
report. He addressed phases and alternatives and expressed concerns that Council will
have difficulty in determining whether there is sufficient support to move forward with the
plans. Additionally, he suggested a scientific and objective method that could be used to
clarify the issue when it is presented to Council.
Council Member Petros closed public comments.
Council Member Petros stated that if and when this matter is presented to Council, and if
Mr. Mosher has presented a mathematical tool that will help in decision-making, he would
like it to be considered. He referenced Mr. Hall's comments and noted that his recitation
on Medina Way has not fallen on deaf ears. He stated that he believes that the intent of
the plan is to prevent spill over from commercial operations impacting adjacent residential
neighborhoods.
Action: Committee Member Stratton moved to forward Map 1 to Council for consideration
with the potential of a Phase 2, which would go to the west, and Committee Member
Oakes seconded the motion. Committee Member Rodheim stated he would prefer Map
2. The motion carried, 3 — 1 with Committee Member Rodheim voting "No," and Mayor
Pro Tem Dixon, Committee Member Dove, and Committee Member Pollack, absent.
3. SHUTTLE UPDATE (ATTACHMENT 3)
Recommended Action: Receive update and provide direction, as needed.
Deputy Community Development Director Wisneski provided an update on the shuttle
program, including the costs, the number of vehicles, securing parking lots, the need to
work with Hoag Hospital, the possibility of funding through an Orange County
Transportation Authority (OCTA) grant, and next steps, and she requested direction from
the Committee.
BVAC Minutes 09/09/2015
Page 3
Council Member Petros expressed concerns regarding the suggested parking locations,
requested that the City lot on Superior Avenue be considered, and emphasized the
benefit of a pilot program.
It was noted that the Superior Avenue lot is being reviewed by the Recreation and Senior
Services Department due to use of the lot as parking for programming of Sunset Ridge
Park.
Discussion followed regarding consideration of Banning Ranch by the Coastal
Commission, unknown outcomes of that project with regard to potential additional parking
provided, and moving the matter forward. Discussion continued regarding steps to move
the item forward and possibilities to lease or sub-lease various properties for parking in
the City.
Community Development Director Brandt commented on possibilities and alternatives
moving forward.
Mayor Pro Tem Dixon suggested contacting Newport Beach & Company to gain a better
perspective on marketing the shuttle program.
Council Member Petros opened public comments.
Jim Mosher requested clarification of the route maps.
Council Member Petros clarified the concept and addressed possibilities relative to the
schedule and stops along the way.
Lesley Miller commented on the need to take a holistic approach with respect to the RP3
and any shuttle program. She added that being able to present everything together as a
single project would help build the case for the City's application to the Coastal
Commission. Lastly, she expressed support for the shuttle program.
Council Member Petros closed public comments.
4. SUSTAINABLE TOURISM (ATTACHMENT 4)
Recommended Action: Informational item only. No action required.
Deputy Community Development Director Wisneski presented an article for the
Committee's review and reported that staff will work with the Balboa Village Merchants
Association (BVMA) to evaluate the concept of an open-air market.
Regarding the Gateway sign, Committee Member Rodheim reported that the BVMA
requests a delay in the matter until Balboa Village realizes some of the improvements
discussed relative to Balboa Theater and ExplorOcean. He added there is no urgency on
the sign and will work with Mayor Pro Tem Dixon to determine the appropriate name for
the area.

Feasibility Study
Final Report
Prepared for the City of •• Beach by
Dan Boyle : Associates,
October2015
I. Introduction
This study assesses the feasibility of a shuttle/trolley route on the Balboa peninsula to serve
visitors and residents during the peak summer season. The beach and Balboa Village are popular
summertime destinations. As a result, Balboa Boulevard becomes congested, especially on busy
summer weekends.
The City of Laguna Beach is the model for special summer service. Its Summer Festival service
links a parking lot along Laguna Canyon Road with Arts Festival sites, the beach, and downtown.
Two other Summer Festival routes serve North Coast Highway and South Coast Highway.
Summer Festival trolleys carry over 10,000 riders on a typical summer Saturday (its busiest day)
or twice the ridership as compared to 2002, the first year that the service operated free of charge
in its current three-route configuration. This is a reminder that it takes time for any service to
mature and reach its full ridership potential.
The City of Dana Point began a new weekend shuttle service in the summer of 2015, with a single
route operating along Pacific Coast Highway(PCH). The City of San Juan Capistrano also started
a shuttle in the summer of 2015
This report is organized as follows. Section 2 of this report is based upon discussions with the
City of Newport Beach and the Balboa Village Advisory Committee (BVAC) at its May 2015
meeting. This section describes the purpose and goals of a summer shuttle route on the Balboa
Peninsula, discusses potential markets for this service, and identifies key stakeholders. Section
3 summarizes the interviews with stakeholders. Section 4 identifies offsite parking locations and
route options. Section 5 outlines draft schedules. Section 6 provides ridership estimates. Section
7 provides cost estimates. Section 8 discusses funding options for a shuttle.
2. Purpose and Goals/Markets/Key Stakeholders
The Balboa Village Master Plan included the shuttle concept that would encompass an off-site
parking location and a shuttle to connect this location with the peninsula. Goals for the shuttle
include:
• Providing an alternative to cruising for a parking space on the peninsula;
• Encouraging visitors to Balboa Village and the beaches;
• Designing a service that is simple to understand, easy to use, and fun;
• Focusing on the most promising markets first.
The general consensus of discussions during this study is that these goals can best be achieved
by starting small, focusing on the peninsula in the summer, and identifying an off-site parking
location.
Weekend day visitors during the summer constitute the primary market for a shuttle. There are
two primary entrances to the peninsula: Newport Expressway/Newport Boulevard and West
Coast Highway/Balboa Boulevard. Parking access must be convenient to these approaches.
11
Balboa Peninsula Shuttle/Trolley Feasibility Study Final Report
Of course, there are additional markets that can be attracted to and served by the shuttle. Hotel
guests staying in Newport Beach and residents have been mentioned as potential markets by
stakeholders. Over the years, the Summer Festival service in Laguna Beach has experienced
ridership growth on its South Route (which serves residential areas and hotels along South Coast
Highway) to the point where its ridership is greater than on the Canyon Route connecting the
major parking location to Festival sites and downtown. The most promising immediate market for
the Balboa peninsula, however, is day visitors on summer weekends. This market offers the best
chance for success. Once a successful shuttle has been established, the City can consider
expanding it to other locations that serve promising markets.
There is also interest in expanding the time frame of the shuttle beyond summer weekends.
Weekends throughout the year, summer weekdays, and special events such as the Boat Parade
during Christmas week were all mentioned. Special events are a logical first step and could even
be incorporated into the initial plan for shuttle operation.
The kickoff meeting and the first presentation and discussion with the BVAC generated the
following list of stakeholders to be interviewed:
• Ralph Rodheim, Balboa Village Merchants Association
• Gary Sherwin, Newport Beach & Co.
• Alison Ryffle, Balboa Peninsula Point Association
• Grace Dove, Central Newport Beach Association
• Marcel Ford and Kelly Carlson, Balboa Village Merchants Association
3. Interviews with Stakeholders
In-person and telephone interviews were conducted with these individuals between June 3 and
June 12, 2015. The interview process was flexible to allow each person to explain the most
relevant factors for consideration in this study from his/her perspective. Each interview included
the following topics:
• Traffic and parking
• Routing for the trolley
• Lessons learned from previous efforts
• Markets that can/should be served by the trolley
• Parting thoughts
The vision for the shuttle varied among stakeholders. Most agreed with the concept of "starting
small" with a focus on the peninsula. Some see multiple routes (two or more) serving various
locations and destinations as necessary from the beginning. A few put forth a broad view of how
the shuttle could evolve into a city-wide network serving hotels, shopping, restaurants and bars
along with Balboa Village and the beach and thus appealing to a wider market. Some expressed
skepticism about the viability of a shuttle, citing past failed attempts and a distinct lack of interest
among residents.
Most (but not all) interviewees view conveniently located off-site parking as essential for the
shuttle's success. Several sites were proposed, including Hoag Hospital, Hoag Health Center on
Dan Boyle &Associates, Inc. Page 2

Balboa Peninsula Shuttle/Trolley Feasibility Study Final Report
Superior Avenue, a lot at 17th Street & Pomona Avenue in Costa Mesa, the Ardell property along
Coast Highway, an under-utilized lot at Avon Street & Riverside Avenue in Mariners Mile, The
Dunes, and Corona del Mar.
Stakeholders noted that the "visitor" market is not homogeneous. One way to define differences
is day trippers vs. those staying longer (often in hotels but also in rental properties). Some
merchants see a more lucrative market in those staying longer; one noted that new store owners
are cautioned that they need to appeal to locals as well as day visitors to stay in business. One
individual noted that 80 percent of visitors in rentals drive to the peninsula but do not necessarily
want to use their car to get around.
The shuttle does not need to go beyond Balboa Village on the peninsula. There is a turnaround
loop at the Balboa Pier used by Orange County Transportation Authority(OCTA) buses that would
serve as a good way to turn the trolley around. Balboa Pier is a current destination for beachgoers
because of parking and restroom facilities. Stakeholders reported that the parking generally fills
up by 9 a.m. on summer weekends. Restrooms are also available at 15th Street. The interviewees
agreed that the shuttle does not need to serve West Newport (along Balboa Boulevard between
Newport Boulevard and Coast Highway).
Beachgoers carry a lot of "stuff" with them. One area of skepticism was whether beachgoers
would be willing to use an alternative like the shuttle that requires carrying items from car to shuttle
to beach. One suggestion was to consider an airport-type shuttle with room to store these items
enroute.
Stakeholders were adamant that the vehicles used for the shuttle need to be attractive! Some
suggested an open-air trolley as the ideal vehicle, while others emphasized the importance of an
alternate-fuel vehicle. The most-cited reason for failure of past efforts was the vehicle. School
buses will not attract ridership. If the shuttle is positioned as `cool,' locals will ride it.
Other reasons for failure of previous efforts included under-funding, insufficient marketing, and a
lack of understanding that a service like this needs time to build ridership and find its market (or
have its market find it). One person suggested that even a summer-long demonstration project
would not be long enough. In this view, two years would be the minimum time frame to test the
market for a shuttle. This suggestion has a parallel in how transit agencies evaluate the success
of a new route or service, which is expected to meet established performance criteria within 18
months. Another noted that Laguna Beach, a model for this type of effort, did not achieve its
current usage overnight. Changing people's habits is a slow process.
Beyond the off-site parking to Balboa Pier route, other suggested routings would serve McFadden
Square/Newport Pier, Lido Marina Village, Mariners Mile, Fashion Island, and various hotels.
The interviewees generally agreed that the trolley needs to be free to attract ridership. The one
contrary view was long-term, thinking about a day pass for visitors and an evening pass for
accessing restaurants and bars on an extended shuttle network.

Balboa Peninsula Shuttle/Trolley Feasibility Study Final Report
4. Offsite Parking Locations and Route Options
As noted earlier, the immediate market for the shuttle consists of weekday day visitors during the
summer, with the beach as the major destination. Criteria for offsite parking include:
• Proximity to Newport Expressway/Newport Boulevard. Most day visitors are coming from
inland via the Newport Expressway. Offsite parking needs to intercept visitors before they
enter the Peninsula. The Act V Parking Lot on Laguna Canyon Road in Laguna Beach is
an example of a well-located parking lot.
• Safety. A staffed parking lot or structure is typically perceived as safest, while an
unattended lot in a lightly-trafficked location is least safe.
• Availability on summer weekends.
• Visibility of the offsite parking location from Newport Expressway/Newport Boulevard. A
visible location feels familiar, even if a driver has only passed by the location.
• Use of city-owned land for parking. This is administratively simpler and can allow for a
parking fee to be charged, with all revenue accruing to the City.
The last two criteria are ideal but not strictly necessary.
Six potential locations have been identified and are highlighted in Figure 1. These locations are:
A. The southeast corner of West 17th Street & Pomona Avenue in Costa Mesa (outlined in
red).
B. Hoag Health Center at 500 Superior Avenue in Newport Beach (outlined in purple).
C. Hoag Hospital at 1 Hoag Drive in Newport Beach (outlined in green).
D. The Avon Lot on Avon Street behind Jack Shrimp east of Tustin Avenue along Mariners
Mile in Newport Beach (outlined in gold)..
E. The Lower Lot at Hoag Hospital along Coast Highway between Newport Boulevard and
Superior Avenue (outlined in pink).
F. A City-owned lot at the northeast corner of Coast Highway& Superior Avenue (outlined in
light blue)

Location C (Hoag Hospital) is very visible from Newport Boulevard, is accessible with only one
turn from Newport, and has a parking structure. There is a well-defined path in and out of this
location and a potential stop location adjacent to the parking structure. Some turns would be tight
for a larger vehicle. Fieldwork indicated that traffic on the hospital grounds is light on a summer
Saturday. The major disadvantage is that it is unlikely that Hoag Hospital would grant approval
for access to this site, according to hospital personnel.
Location B (Hoag Health Center at 500 Superior Avenue) is not visible from Newport Boulevard
and requires a right and then a left turn to access this location. There are two parking structures,
with a small cafe in between them, and the Health Center is well-signed from Superior Avenue.
Hoag Hospital personnel indicated that this location was used as a base for shuttle service to the
Balboa Peninsula in the past. The Health Center is not staffed on weekends, so there are no
parking or traffic conflicts. There is a well-defined path in and out of this location (circling the
parking structures), and the caf6 area provides a convenient waiting area. There is room for
multiple shuttle vehicles at this location. Availability is likely, but has not yet been confirmed.
Location A (the lot at West 17th Street & Pomona Avenue) is close to but not visible from Newport
Boulevard. Drivers can reach the lot with only one turn. It is not staffed, and it is unclear whether
visitors would feel comfortable leaving their cars there for the day. Access to the lot was closed
off during fieldwork, but it appears unused during summer months. This is the location farthest
away from Balboa Peninsula.
Location D (the Avon lot on Avon Street east of Tustin Avenue behind Jack Shrimp) along
Mariners Mile is an open, unstaffed lot. It requires two or three turns from Newport Boulevard to
access. The lot is owned by the City and is underused. As with the lot at West 17th & Pomona,
it is unclear whether visitors would feel comfortable leaving their cars there for the day. It may be
more challenging to persuade visitors to look for remote parking once they have reached Coast
Highway and are almost to the Peninsula.
Dan Boyle &Associates, Inc. Page 6

Balboa Peninsula Shuttle/Trolley Feasibility Study Final Report
Location E (the Lower Lot at Hoag Hospital along Coast Highway between Superior Avenue and
Newport Boulevard) is an open, unstaffed lot. The City of Newport Beach will be using this lot on
Saturdays to shuttle youth sports league players to the City's park on Superior Avenue & Coast
Highway. Availability is possible, but has not yet been confirmed. While this location faces the
same challenge as the Avon lot in persuading visitors to look for remote parking once they have
reached Coast Highway, it is very close to Newport Boulevard.
Location F, the lot at Coast Highway & Superior Avenue, is an open, unstaffed lot. This location
faces the same challenge in persuading visitors to look for remote parking once they have reached
Coast Highway. While only slightly farther west of the Lower Lot, this lot can only be accessed
from the northbound lane of Superior Avenue. As seen in the next section, this restricted access
results in a lengthy out-of-direction loop on the trip to Balboa Pier.
Figure 2 shows route options for the shuttle. All options are identical between Coast Highway
and the Balboa Pier.
• The red line serves the lot at 1711 & Pomona.
• The dark blue line serves Hoag Health Center.
• The green line serves Hoag Hospital.
• The orange line serves the Avon lot at Mariners Mile.
• The pink line serves the Lower Hoag Hospital parking lot
• The light blue line serves the lot at Superior & Coast Highway
Parking lots are shown in white and are outlined by the color of the route serving the lot.

Two additional route options were suggested in stakeholder interviews. These options, shown in
Figures 3 and 4, are not oriented toward parking for summer day visitors and might be considered
as options for future extensions. These routes are very different:
• The route in dark green (Figure 3) is very short (under two miles round-trip) and connects
Lido Marina Village with Newport Pier.
• The route in pink (Figure 4) is an expansive route connecting Balboa Pier with Mariners
Mile, Fashion Island, and various hotels and resorts.

5. Schedules
Draft schedules have been developed for each of the six parking-based shuttle options and are
presented in Appendix A. The running times for each option are based on fieldwork on the Balboa
Peninsula on a summer Saturday (July 11, 2015) and the OCTA bus schedule for Route 71, and
include a factor for scheduled stops. The shuttle could be operated with stops at all OCTA stops
along the route (Appendix B provides a list of OCTA stops that are along one of the routes) or
could stop only at select stops.
Initial span of service is assumed to be from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Service
is provided every 15 minutes almost all of the day. Most options operate every 20 minutes
between 10 and 11 am. A frequency of one bus every 20 minutes between 10 and 11 a.m. is
acceptable, based on field observation (the parking lot at Balboa Pier had spaces available until
11:15 a.m.)and experience in Laguna Beach. Table 3 summarizes the schedules for each option.

Note: Revenue hours are the total number of hours that a shuttle is in service. This
includes recovery time at the end of each trip.
In Options A and C, the running times allowed service every 12 minutes for two hours at
no additional cost
Revenue hours of service are highest for the 17th & Pomona option and lowest for the Hoag
Hospital and Lower Lot options. The 1711 & Pomona option requires five vehicles due to the longer
distance involved. Span of service reflects the leave time of the first bus from the parking lot to
the arrival of the last bus at the parking lot.
6. Ridership Estimate
Ridership estimates are based upon summer 2015 ridership to date in Dana Point and San Juan
Capistrano (excluding special events and the 4th of July weekend) and adjusted ridership in
Laguna Beach during its first year of free service in 2002. For the purposes of this estimate, we
assume that a Balboa Peninsula trolley/shuttle could achieve a productivity (measured as
boardings per revenue hour) of approximately 1/5 of the Laguna Beach Summer Festival Trolley

Balboa Peninsula Shuttle/Trolley Feasibility Study Final Report
on weekends in 2002. The Dana Point and San Juan Capistrano shuttles are in their first year of
operation. The Dana Point shuttle operates primarily on Pacific Coast Highway and connects
with major hotels. The San Juan Capistrano shuttle operates hourly as a circulator within the
City.
The average of the Dana Point, San Juan Capistrano, and adjusted 2002 Laguna Beach
productivity figures is 12.7 boardings per revenue hour. To be conservative, this analysis uses a
lower value of 10 boardings per revenue hour to estimate potential ridership of the Balboa
Peninsula shuttle/trolley service. Assuming 32.0 revenue hours, the resulting daily ridership
estimate is 320.
There are other factors that can influence ridership. A focused marketing effort publicizing the
existence of the shuttle and how to use it will be very important in ensuring the shuttle's success.
As noted in Technical Memorandum No. 1, it could take more than one summer to establish the
shuttle as an integral part of summer on the Balboa Peninsula. OCTA has changed its Project V
guidelines in recognition of the fact that changing people's habits is a slow process.
Another interesting factor observed in the fieldwork is related to skepticism over whether
beachgoers, who generally bring a lot of beach gear and belongings with them, would be willing
to transfer to a shuttle. In the late morning and afternoon, once the parking lot at Balboa Pier was
full, many beachgoers were observed carrying their belongings across Balboa Boulevard from
wherever they could find parking. A shuttle that brings these beachgoers directly to Balboa Pier
would be very attractive to families who currently walk a fair distance to the beach.
7. Cost Estimate
Laguna Beach operates its Summer Festival Trolley service directly. Dana Point and San Juan
Capistrano have contracted operation of their services to a private contractor. Dana Point
received a Project V grant from OCTA and provides a local match of approximately 20 percent.
San Juan Capistrano is funding a small demonstration project this summer with City funds. In its
Project V application, Dana Point used a cost estimate of $95 per revenue hour to calculate
operating costs. For the purposes of this analysis, we assume an operating cost of $100 per
revenue hour.
Table 4 summarizes estimated operating costs and ridership for the Balboa Peninsula
shuttle/trolley. Table 4 uses 32.0 daily revenue hours at a cost of $100 per revenue hour
(assumed to include provision of vehicles) and 10 weeks of service on summer Saturdays and
Sundays.

8. Funding Options
OCTA's M2 program is a 30-year, multi-billion dollar extension of the original Measure M
(approved in 1990) with a new slate of planned projects and programs. Projects S, T, V, and W
address public transportation needs.
The proposed Balboa Peninsula shuttle could be funded under Project V: Community Based
Transit/Circulators. Among the objectives of Project V are to:
• Encourage development of local bus transit services such as community-based
circulators, shuttles, and bus trolleys
• Provide alternatives to address seasonal/special event congestion
Capital funding is available for the following purposes:
• Bus and vehicle leases/purchases
• Related equipment, including but not limited to:
o Bike racks
o Software
o Communications equipment
o Fare collection equipment
o Passenger amenities
o Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) equipment for vehicles
• Maintenance facilities and fueling stations
• Bus stop improvements (signage, furniture, and shelters
Operations and maintenance funding is available for the following purposes:
• Fixed route, deviated fixed route, demand responsive, seasonal community transit, and
shuttle services including administration, operations and maintenance of services.
Services are to be operated by OCTA, although local agencies may propose an alternate
service provider which will be considered at the discretion of OCTA.
• Parking leases needed in response to expanded transit services.
• Special event shuttle services for events that will create significant congestion.
• Other flexible and innovative transit services contingent on the service plan and
anticipated service performance.
• Marketing efforts including expenditures related to service schedules, marketing materials
such as flyers and brochures, and community outreach efforts. Project V contributions for
marketing will be capped at $25,000 for the startup cost and up to $10,000 annually
thereafter for the remaining grant period.
Funding for planning Project V services is available. Up to $50,000 is available for planning.
Agencies may be awarded a total from all project categories of no more than $550,000 annually
for a period of up to seven years per project.

OCTA staff has prepared and presented Program Guidelines for Project V to its Board and is
expected to issue a Call for Projects later this year. The recommended next step is to complete
and submit a Project V application in response to the Call for Projects. If Newport Beach can
replicate the success of shuttles operating in Dana Point(funded through Project V)and San Juan
Capistrano in 2015, this productivity target would be attainable.

Memorandum
To: Balboa Village Advisory Committee
From: Fern Nueno, Associate Planner
Date: September 30, 2015
Re: BVMA Special Events Funding
As part of the Balboa Village Master Plan implementation, the City Council
approved funding for special events organized by the Balboa Village Merchants
Association (BVMA). On August 11, 2015, the City Council approved an
allocation of $2,500 for the Village Festival. Additionally, the City Council
allocated $7,500 to further support BVMA special events. The Council directed
the BVMA to submit a package of special events for review by the Balboa Village
Advisory Committee (BVAC) prior to the funds being released.
The BVAC is asked to review the BVMA request and approve funding up to
$7,500 for special events in Balboa Village to help further the revitalization efforts
for the area. Representatives from the BVMA will be available at the meeting to
answer questions about the proposed events.
The BVMA submitted a list of three tentative special events for the 2015-2016
fiscal year, which includes:
1) Balboa Craft Beer Festival — Saturday, November 14, 2015
An adults only, paid ticket event for locals to sample craft beer from local
breweries. The event will take place at the Palm Street parking lot on the
corner of Palm Street and East Balboa Boulevard. Nearly all businesses
participating in the event will be from the Village with a few restaurants
participating from Newport Pier area. There will be amplified sound with a live
classic rock band. There will be no street closures as the event will be in the
public parking lot. This aligns with the revitalization goals of Balboa Village as
the BVMA is marketing to visitors and residents alike. 500 tickets will be
available for sale at $55 each, with potential ticket sales of $27,500.
Estimated Cost: $23,000

2) Village Music Festival — Saturday, February 20, 2016
Local musicians will play free at several storefronts around the Village
encouraging locals to come, listen, stroll, and enjoy food and drink around the
Village. The event will take place around the Balboa Village area only. Visitors
will stroll around Village streets in front of businesses. There will not be
amplified sound as it will be curb side musicians. There will be no street
closures. This aligns with the revitalization goals of Balboa Village as the
BVMA is marketing the street event to visitors and residents alike to come,
stroll, eat, watch live music.
Estimated Cost: $7,500
3) Village Festival — Sunday, April 17, 2016
Kickoff party for Newport to Ensenada Race with live classic rock 'n roll band,
local food venders, and wine and beer garden. The event will take place at
the Palm Street parking lot on the corner of Palm Street and East Balboa
Boulevard. Nearly all businesses will be from the Village with a few
restaurants participating from Newport Pier area. There will be amplified
sound with a live classic rock band. There will be no street closures as the
event will be in the public parking lot. This aligns with the revitalization goals
of Balboa Village as the BVMA is marketing to visitors and residents alike to
come and enjoy the Village. This may be a ticketed event to generate
revenue to offset cost.
Estimated Cost: $25,000
