MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 11, 1996
TO: The Honorable Mayor and : •and of City Commissioners
FROM: James W. Shira, P.E j
City Engineer/Utili es Director
SUBJECT: Street Closure - Bexley Boulevard
At the City Commission meeting held on January 16, 1996, you directed staff to return to you
with a proposed design for the temporary closure of Bexley Boulevard. This temporary closure
was to be for a period of one year, after which the City Commission would determine whether
the street should be permanently closed.
The City of Orlando has had experience with both temporary and permanent street closures both
for crime reduction and cut-through traffic reduction. They tried several temporary closure
methods, including barrels, barricades and chains, and found that none of these were effective in
accomplishing the desired result. They were constantly repairing, replacing or relocating these
devices after they had been destroyed by vehicles or damaged by vandals. They determined that
something was needed that was easily installed, yet difficult to move. Attached is a copy of a
manufacturers brochure for the device Orlando now uses.
The Guardian Bather device is a polyethylene structure, four feet tall, six feet long, and two feet
wide at the base. Empty, each structure weighs 130 pounds. Once set into place, the structure
is filled with water resulting in a filled weight of 1,800 pounds. Because the structure is filled
with water, the energy of a vehicle which hits it will tend to be absorbed, thus reducing the
severity of damage to the vehicle and its occupants. These bathers are less likely to be moved
by vandals than standard barricades or barrels, yet they do not pose the same degree of hazard to
vehicles as concrete barriers would.
To completely close off Bexley Boulevard four of these bathers will be needed at an approximate
price each of$375.00. The Public Works Department will need to apply reflective striping to
these units before they are put into place, and we will need to purchase flashing lights for each

unit. This additional work will add approximately $100.00 to the cost of each unit. Additionally,
signs will be required for advance warning on both sides of the barriers. The signs will cost
approximately $400.00. Total cost for the project will be approximately $2,300.00.
I recommend that the City Commission authorize the purchase of four Guardian Barriers, and the
lights and signs required to close Bexley Boulevard, with funding to come from General Fund
Contingency.

FREQUENT INQUiRIES
How much does en empty unit weigh?
The approximate empty weight is 130 LBS.
How much does a water film}Barrier weigh?
The Barrier weighs approximately 1800 LBS when filled
completely.
What materials are used in the manufacturing of the Barrier?
100 % recyclable, Heavy-duty, Low Density Polyethylene
Other than water,what can the system be filled with?
Although water Is recommended due to the option of easy removal and cleanup,the
barrier can also be filled with sand, gravel and rubber. Filling material usually depends
on the specific use of the Barrier.
in temperatures below 32 degrees, how can the water inside the Barrier be kept from freezing?
if the unit ahouid freeze, it is the same as a concrete block. There are many
environmentally safe antifreeze solutions available to the customer that will prevent
the Barrier from freezing. Far example:Liquid Calcium Chloride,
What about ultra violet stability?
The plastic has a UV Stabilizer package.
What are the dimensions Of the Barrier?
The dimensions can be found on the back of the GUARDIAN x Flier, each unit is 42
inches high, 24 inchas wide at the base, 10 inches wide at the top, and 78 inches long,
which includes a$" long extension so that when the barriers are connected, each
individual Barrier is effectively 72" long.
How many units will fit on a tractor trailer?
The barriers Can be stacked in such a way that as many as 84 - 90 units can be placed
in a tractor trailer.
