Renovation of a municipal facility in Foster City, California. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility.

When the Government Center was constructed, signage was placed at the access points to the parking lot behind City Hall, the Police Station and the Fire Station to indicate that access was for authorized vehicles only. At that time, the possibility of future gate installation was considered likely. This project was originally scheduled for Fiscal Year 2018-2019, but was pushed back as the adjacent 15- acre site was developed and then the project was closed in Fiscal Year 2021-2022 due to revenue impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, consistently over the years and in increasing volumes, staff has observed general public pedestrian and vehicle users accessing the driveway. With the occupancy of the 15-acres, even more throughway access has been observed. Security of this area is important for a number of reasons. Most significantly, pedestrians and unauthorized vehicles present a hazard to themselves and to public safety vehicles that are quickly departing the stations. In addition, this area is designated for parking for both City vehicles and 24-hour personnel that can be the targets of vandalism or theft of sensitive and expensive equipment. This project includes purchase and installation of the gates, loop detectors, UL-required safety devices and local controls as well as electrical and concrete work required to facilitate installation, which could include curb modifications, center island construction and trenching/back filling for power and control wiring. This Project Is included in the City of Foster City's FY 2022 - 2027 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As of October 4, 2023, a timeline for design and construction has not been determined. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
