Sounds great, the problem is the gate couldn't be closed until the
Hotel/Restaurants closed their dinning rooms. That would be about 11pm. Then
there is the use of the Berkeley Pier, which as you know has 24 hour access.
Also how do you confirm that someone who is entering the marina is going
where they are saying they are going? Finally, how do you limit pedestrian
traffic - Virginia Street access?

 

I believe the roving security patrol with the ability to call police will be
highly effective and more bang for the buck. The Security Officer could
drive parking lots, lock gates (i.e.: Spinnaker Circle or maybe a new gate
at H's Lordships), walk docks and provide a presence in the Marina after
normal business hours.

I still think the most effective (and cost-effective) security measure we
could take would be the entry gate and kiosk, probably located somewhere
just west of Seabreeze on U. Ave. There are some cuts in the center median
strip wide enough for the kiosk and a turn-around. 

 

The gates would be open all day and evening, closed late at night. You would
need to show a marina key, hotel room key, have a verifiable late dinner
reservation, etc. to get through after hours. 

 

The access road to Brickyard Cove marina has a nice example of an entry
kiosk. I've never seen anyone in it, but it does give the impression of some
form of controlled access. Then the driveway into the Brickyard Cove parking
lot has a code-operated gate. The gate is left open during the day and
evening, closed late at night.

 

The whole idea here is to leave daytime access completely unimpeded so we
don't have to compromise the public character of the marina - but also
impose tight access control late at night, and at least the perception that
there is some form of exit control in response to a real-time crime report.

I just spoke with Susan Riche about the meeting and she brought me up to
date. I am emailing the Berkeley Boat Owners the highlights right now...
