The agreement comes amid a hope from Capitola officials that the wharf itself will reopen to the public sometime in July on a rolling basis, meaning it may shut down temporarily to allow for some final installations.
The proposed agreement comes about three months after the city-owned wharf building that the Boat and Bait Shop had been operating out of for decades was torn down after it was deemed a total loss from devastating winter storms in recent years.
According to the staff report, the project includes a reduction in lanes at Bay Avenue approaches to simplify driver navigation, creation of bulb outs also known as sidewalk extensions that seek to shorten pedestrian crossing distances along with additional striping and a wider buffer area for bicycles.
