B. RAILINGS AND SIDE ENCLOSURES DESIGN CRITERIA

Streetary railings and side enclosures must be constructed from wood or metal that can withstand wear and tear of elements. The streetary railing/side enclosure marks the boundary between the streetary and the street or sidewalk. It should serve as a safe edge while also being visually appealing, permeable, and inviting. The following standards and guidelines should inform the design.

• Stability: Stable and sturdy enough not to fall over or be pushed over.
• Edge buffers from the street: This can take the form of planters, railing, cabling, or some other appropriate enclosure.
• Openings in rails: Must prevent passage of 4-inch sphere.
• Height of railings / side enclosures: Should not exceed 36 inches from the streetary platform floor to the top of the railing.
• Traffic safety and visibility: The enclosure shall not block the view of conflicting movements of traffic, including pedestrian traffic, nor block the view of traffic control devices such as traffic signs, traffic signals, and other traffic warning devices. All railings/enclosures must have retro-reflective reflectors or retro-reflective tape on the corners of the streetary facing the travel lane such that they are visible by vehicle traffic at night.
• Water-filled orange barricades and metal rail side enclosures are not permitted. Any water-filled orange barricades and metal rails that served as traffic protection during the Temporary Outdoor Dining Program prior to adoption of the “Streetary” ordinance must be promptly removed.

C. TRAFFIC SAFETY PROTECTIONS

Wheel Stops

See Figure 1.

Streetaries in parallel parking spaces must be buffered using a wheel stop at two-feet from the streetary and three-feet from the face of curb. These wheel stops help protect against moving traffic and parking cars. This buffer may also serve as a space for adjacent property owners to accommodate curbside trash collection. Applicants are required to repair any damages to the roadway caused by the installation of the streetary or wheel stops if later removed. Any repairs shall be performed under a separate encroachment permit and in accordance with applicable City standards for roadway construction. Applicants are responsible for the cost of purchasing and installing wheel stops, which will be added as an additional cost at the time of application approval. Payment and installation of wheel stops must occur prior to any construction of the
