The Alameda Civic Center Parking Structure, built in 2008, is set to undergo renovations and upgrades designed to improve safety, security, and aesthetics. Key improvements will include the installation of an access control gate at the vehicle entry and pedestrian gates at the ingress/egress points, along with fencing in open areas to allow for the closure of the facility at night. Operating hours for the facility will be determined in consultation with the owner. The outdated parking guidance system will be demolished and replaced with a simplified system as directed by the owner. The new system will feature space availability signage tied to updated access controls, indicating total parking availability rather than individual stall count. A "lot full" indicator will also be added in place of the current method of stall-based monitoring. Additionally, new utility infrastructure will provide power to ADA spaces for electric vehicles, owner to furnish and install charging stations as part of a separate contract. To accommodate egress from stairwell 2, the ADA van parking stalls on the ground level will be relocated, and the affected areas will be re-striped with updated signage. Four existing bike lockers will be moved to a new location near the electrical room, while the other four will be removed. The bike racks currently located at the back of the garage will also be relocated near stairwell 2, and designated motorcycle parking will be added, with the area re-striped accordingly. Additionally, fencing will be installed at the openings in the theater-side walls of levels 2 through 5 and above the marquee sign on the second level for increased security. An access control gate will be installed between the 5th and 6th floors to dedicate the 6th and roof levels for official vehicle parking. Stairwell access to the roof will be closed, and new pedestrian gates will be provided for city access only. On the roof level, lighting fixtures will be upgraded to LED for improved energy efficiency and visibility, and exit signs will be replaced or repositioned where necessary to meet safety standards.
