At street level there is an opening facing Civic Center Drive large enough to allow tandem axle trucks to enter beneath the chute and be loaded. This truck access is secured by two large doors. It has been brought to the attention of staff that a safety issue may exist in that the openings could allow an inattentive bicyclist to crash and project over the wall and into the snow chute. There are sloping concrete baffles designed to break the fall of deposited snow. These baffles would prevent a direct fall to the bottom Consensus of the Committee was to direct staff to pursue the costs of a panic bar being installed on the door and the installation of a grate cover. Action: Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee. - eOMMlTTEEINPUT Reviewed by: Public Works Director/Principal City Engineer City Engineer ee: 04/10/07 -155-
