<br /> <br />CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />DIVISION OF ENGINEERING <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Page 3 of 3 <br /> <br />motorists, but still needs to be placed within the existing parking area and in no way extend <br />into the driving lane. <br />11. Barriers are required to be installed at each parklet, positioned between the parklet and <br />the parking lane to prevent cars from hitting the parklet when entering or exiting the parking <br />spot. Four (4) barriers are required per parklet, two (2) at each end. Parking bumpers or <br />temporary curb (something that would not damage a vehicle) should be placed 4’ from the <br />parklet to prevent vehicles parking from backing into the parklet if parking is adjacent to <br />the parklet. Refer to NACTO’s urban street design guide for examples of parklet <br />configurations. <br />12. Parklets are required to have an open railing to define the space. The railing should be no <br />higher than 3 ft and capable of withstanding 200 pounds of horizontal force. If planters are <br />proposed to be placed along the railing, this would need to be reviewed by Engineering to <br />ensure visibility is not restricted. <br />13. The placement of the parklet must consider any drives, alleys, or intersections adjacent to <br />the parklet to ensure vehicles have proper turn movements and site distance. <br />14. It is recommended that Parklets be installed on streets that have a posted speed limit of <br />30 mph or less. Traffic calming measures will be assessed by Engineering as needed. <br />15. The applicant is responsible for notifying adjacent businesses that a parklet (once <br />approved) will be installed in a particular location. The Engineering Division will provide a <br />sample letter to be shared with adjacent businesses. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
