Public realm
How bollards protect a public space
In a plaza, a transit approach or a park entrance the requirement is the same as on a private site: separate people from vehicles, but the finish, the approvals and the design standard all matter more, and the hardware is looked at by thousands of people a day.
Protect Pedestrians, Plazas & Public Frontages
Security Bollard Direct supplies and installs streetscape and public realm bollards and bike racks throughout the Greater Toronto Area, for municipalities, BIAs, campuses and mixed-use developments.
Strong protection where it matters most
Our commercial bollards can be installed around:
- Plaza and sidewalk edges beside carriageways
- Transit approaches and station frontages
- Park and trail entrances against vehicle access
- Café seating, planters and street furniture
- Bicycle parking and its approach
- Building entrances on public frontages
Why public places need bollards
Even a low-speed vehicle impact can cause significant damage. A professionally planned installation can help:
- Pedestrian space is defined without fencing it off
- Vehicle access is controlled while service access is kept
- The streetscape meets the design standard it was approved against
- Bike parking is provided at grade, where the by-law expects it
Streetscape & Plaza Protection Bollards
In a plaza, a transit approach or a park entrance the requirement is the same as on a private site: separate people from vehicles, but the finish, the approvals and the design standard all matter more, and the hardware is looked at by thousands of people a day.
Satin stainless and decorative bollards define pedestrian space without fencing it off, while removable and retractable units keep service and emergency access available.
