A system and method for anchoring bollards and curbside features is disclosed. The ‘curb apparatus’ is comprised of a planar, horizontal plate and a vertical portion on a distal end with apertures to receive a plurality of fasteners. This L-shaped, curb apparatus is selectively affixed to street curbs. An object of the invention is to support curbside features such as lighting bollards, benches, and bike racks etc. For example, in one embodiment, the feet of a park bench are affixed to the horizontal plate of the curb apparatus and the vertical portion is bolted into the vertical wall of the curb and gutter in a street. Other embodiments incorporate gussets and stiffeners to prevent bending and shifting as well as other means of fastening such as cements and epoxies. This installation prevents the bench from shifting when bumped and can mitigate vandalism.

A surface marking assembly for providing guidance to vehicle operators includes first and second panels. The first panel is configured to couple to a surface, such as tarmac of a road. A plurality of solar cells is coupled to a top of the first panel. At least one battery is coupled to the first panel and is operationally coupled to the solar cells, which are configured to charge the battery. A plurality of bulbs is coupled to the first panel and is operationally coupled to the battery. The second panel, which is textured and substantially transparent, is coupled to the first panel to protect the solar cells and the bulbs. The battery is positioned to power the bulbs to provide visual direction to an operator of a vehicle proximate to the first panel. The second panel is configured to provide vibratory and auditory notifications to the operator.
