Commission OKs Bridal Park bollard concept pending PBSO safety confirmation

Staff presented cost estimates for permanent bollards or decorative rock barriers on Lake Avenue near Bridal/Bryant Park to reduce recurring event security needs. The proposed options range from lower‑profile stone elements to larger sculpted rocks; staff said the installations would block vehicle access while allowing pedestrian access.

Commissioners directed staff to confirm with PBSO that the proposed design would be sufficient for security purposes before moving forward. The commission gave consensus to proceed on a conditional basis: staff will ask PBSO whether the proposed permanent barriers would meet operational security needs in place of temporary water‑filled barricades used for events.
