Metal bikes and arches will replace the bollards now on Ocean Front Walk. Poster shows the streets and what will be installed. Some streets will have four bikes; others, two. A three-foot opening for American Disabilities Accessibility (ADA) will be provided on many of the streets.

GameTime manufacturer representative Nate Younker figures four bikes can be locked to each bike, two on each side. The bikes will be welded to an 18-inch spike that will be embedded in cement. The arches will have a similar mounting system. Installation should start first of next year.

“I like it,” said Gary Harris, activist and resident of Ocean Front Walk.

This is all part of the program the Council office has worked out in conjunction with the police department, all the various park departments involved with the beach, and the local Ocean Front Walk Task Force.

After the accident that killed a tourist more than a year ago, Councilman Mike Bonin has made safety of Ocean Front Walk a priority. He walked Ocean Front Walk with police department officials and heads of all applicable park departments. He asked for inputs.

Answers came quickly—lights, cameras, street blockage, public address system, walking policemen.

Lights have been installed. Cameras have been installed but a more comprehensive system is yet to follow. The bikes and arches are part of the street blockage system and beautification of OFW.

Board shows placement for bikes and arches. One will be able to hitch his bike to a bike or an arch.
