The City of Manhattan Beach is hosting a public presentation to obtain community input for replacement of the existing safety railings on and around the Manhattan Beach Pier.

The Manhattan Beach Pier is approximately 928-foot and stretches from the end of Manhattan Beach Boulevard over the Pacific Ocean. It was built in 1920, and in 1995, it was listed as a State Historical Landmark s the oldest concrete Pier on the West Coast. The Pier handrails are considered a contributing feature of the Pier’s historical association.

The scope of the project will involve the railing along the pier as well as partially along a segment of an existing bicycle trail and lower parking lot that perpendicularly bisect the Pier entrance. This replacement project will bring the railing up to current building code which addresses spacing between rails; repairing damaged and corroded portions; create segments rather than long continuous single-post painted steel pipes to make future repairs easier and cost efficient; as well as minor repairs to concrete and concrete curbs on-and adjacent to the rails. 

Benefits

• Improve aging infrastructure
• Improve public safety
• Minimize maintenance
• Maintain character of the pier
