The City's allocation in FY 07/08 is <br />$5,684,648 based on the population percentage of the County's total. <br />Eligible projects include maintenance, improvements on City streets and <br />roads, and traffic reduction improvements. The Public Works Agency has <br />developed a plan with a list of eligible projects for this funding. A <br />number of local and arterial streets have been selected as part of the <br />plan. The selected projects are high priority and include pavement <br />rehabilitation and replacement of damaged curb, gutter and sidewalk. <br />55B-1 <br />
