PROJECT LOCATION
N-Lot Parking is located along Seawall Drive on the north side of University Avenue. This parking lot serves Skates on the Bay restaurant patrons, N Dock slip holders, and other recreational users.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
The N-Lot Parking Lot is a key public parking amenity for the Berkeley Waterfront for the general public, Stakes on the Bay restaurant patrons, and N Dock slip holders. Over the decades the existing asphalt surfacing has deteriorated into an uneven surface posing safety risks. As part of Skates on the Bay long-term lease agreement, the restaurant is contributing the design and reconstruction of this parking lot.
The project will renovate the existing N-Lot Parking Lot by installing the following improvements:
- Durable new asphalt surfacing and subgrade treatment in the existing parking lot
- Removal of deteriorating raised planters
- Resurfacing of approximately 500 ft of Seawall Drive
- Restriping of crosswalks
- ADA accessible parking stalls and accessible paths
- New stormwater bioretention basin
City staff will plant native vegetation in the bioretention basin and new trees in the parking lot.
Construction is anticipated to start in August 2026 and take approximately 2 months to complete.
