Adopt a resolution which authorizes submittal of two grant applications for the Urban Greening
Grant Program in the total amount of $4,269,874.
DISCUSSION
The Urban Greening Grant Program is administered by the State of California Resources Agency,
and funds will be provided to preserve, enhance, increase, or establish community green space in
California. The total Urban Greening grant funding available for Fiscal Year (FY) 2018-19 is $24.7
million statewide. A resolution from the City Council authorizing Public Works Agency staff to
submit the applications for funding consideration is required by the grant application process (Exhibit
1). The resolution is due to the State Resources Agency prior to site visits for selected projects.
Grant funds are anticipated to be awarded in November 2018.
In April 2018, the Public Works Agency submitted preliminary concept applications under the grant's
Call for Projects for Bristol Street Active Transportation and Urban Greening Improvements. The
proposed project includes the addition of a 6 -foot parkway; installation of bio-swales to percolate
any street water runoff; drought -tolerant native planting, drip irrigation, canopy trees for shade and
heat reduction and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions; an 8 -foot ADA -compliant pedestrian
sidewalk; a 6 -foot concrete bike lane; and a 4 -foot landscaped buffer to separate the bicyclists from
motorized vehicles.
Other key features include interpretive bikeway signage and pavement markings, which are
intended to educate the public on designated conflict zones. The total estimated cost is $4,269,874.
Given the importance of greening public lands and structures, and active transportation
enhancements to public health and safety, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the
resolution to complete eligibility requirements for this grant application.
