DISCUSSION
The Clean California Local Grant Program (CCLGP) is a competitive statewide program
created to beautify and clean up local streets and roads, tribal lands, parks, pathways,
transit centers, and other public spaces. Almost $300 million was made available
statewide for projects that reduced waste and debris, installed measures to beautify and
improve public spaces and mitigate the urban heat island effect, improved public spaces
for walking and recreation, and advanced equity for underserved communities.
The Public Works Agency submitted a successful application for $1.49 million of funding
for the King Street Urban Greening Project. The project includes the transformation of
9,000 square feet of unused public space at the intersection of King Street and 10t" Street,
which is in line with the City's Parks Master Plan objective of increasing open space in
the City. The project features bicycle and pedestrian pathways, drought -tolerant
landscaping, lighting, waste receptacles, seating, interpretive signage, art, and a
stormwater infiltration system that will capture and infiltrate stormwater runoff form the
surrounding neighborhood.
A resolution authorizing the Executive Director of the Public Works Agency to enter into
the Restricted Grant Agreement (RGA) with Caltrans is required for the project (Exhibit
1).
