Council advances ADA restroom planning and considers speed‑monitoring devices and Ocean View Drive safety
Summary
City Manager summarized consent-agenda items including a project to make public restrooms ADA compliant; the council discussed speed enforcement measures and options to replace damaged delineators on Ocean View Drive with painted pavement or sturdier separators.
At the start of the consent agenda, the chair reported City Manager Bobby Price summarized key items, including a project to bring public restrooms into ADA compliance. "If any of you have been in any of the restrooms, I mean, they're really small," the chair said, stressing the need for substantial improvements.
Separately, the council discussed speeding complaints and plans for enforcement. The chair said the city will deploy a speed-monitoring device and that a police officer patrols two days a week; the council described these as steps already underway to reduce excessive speed in residential areas.
Rick McClug raised the frequent loss or damage of plastic delineators on Ocean View Drive; the council discussed alternatives such as painted pavement markings (including artist-decorated pedestrian symbols) or installing more durable physical separators to make the walking corridor clearer and safer for pedestrians. No contract awards or construction schedules were detailed in the transcript.
