Agenda Item Summary
Name: Consideration of a Resolution authorizing a payment of $98,326.04 for the construction of the pathway on San Antonio Avenue between the Carmel/Pebble Beach Gate and Fourth Avenue.
Description: The Pebble Beach Company hired Pavex Construction to construct a pathway between the Carmel/Pebble Beach Gate and Fourth Avenue in time for the 2010 U.S. Open Golf Championship. The work was completed, except for the landscape installation. The City and Pebble Beach Company agreed to divide the cost of this Phase I project 50/50. Now, Phase II of the project is under way, which includes a stairway access to the beach and a boardwalk and will continue the pathway from Fourth Avenue to Carmel Beach.
Overall Cost:
City Funds: $98,326.03 (Capital Reserve Fund)
Grant Funds: $0
Staff Recommendation: Adopt the Resolution.
Important Considerations: During the AT&T Golf Tournament in February, San Antonio Avenue is commonly used as a pedestrian access. This poses a risk to pedestrians, given the large amount of vehicular traffic on San Antonio. For many years, a better pathway has frequently been discussed to improve pedestrian safety for this portion of San Antonio. Since the U.S. Open was held at Pebble Beach this past June and better pedestrian access was needed, Pebble Beach Company and staff collectively agreed to construct the existing pathway.
Decision Record: The pathway plan was presented to the City Council by the Pebble Beach Company. The City Council provided policy direction to move forward on the plan, including completing Phase I in time for the U.S. Open.

Thank Goodness for the Pebble Beach Company. Without PBC taking the lead in this project the City of Carmel would still be dithering and saying the city did not enough money to accomplish the project until the city was awarded grant funds, and then if and when grant funds became available, the mayor would micromanage the project to exclude the boardwalk, etc. Just like the mayor tried to micromanage the 4th avenue project while blaming state employees for the delays. Anyway, thank goodness for PBC…maybe Carmel should annex to PB since PB does a demonstrably better job on its roads, restroom facilities and other resident and visitor amenities.
