STAFF REPORT
Date: May 2, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager/Executive Director
By: Richard Iglesias, City Clerk
Subject: Consideration to Review and Approve the Draft Minutes of March 21, 2023, for the Regular Meeting of the City Council and the Joint Meeting of the City of Cudahy as Successor Agency and Housing Successor Agency to the Cudahy Development Commission
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to review and approve the City Council / Successor Agency Draft Minutes for March 21, 2023.
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
On December 12, 2016, the City Council of the City of Cudahy adopted Resolution No. 16-38, approving the use of summary action minutes, meant to allow the City Clerk's Office to write the minutes in brief, assuring a record of Council's actions, due to having a recording of the full Council Meeting on the City’s website.
Historically
The Municipal Clerk is one of the oldest professions in government, dating back to 1272 A.D., originating in England. The record keeper then was called Remembrancer, an English official whose job was to remind the Lord Treasurer and Barons of Court, of business pending.
Years later, in the 1600s, when early colonists came to America, the office of the Clerk was one of the first offices to be established. Over the years, the City Clerk’s office has become the core for local government, and the liaison to the residents of the Community. The Municipal Clerk (City Clerk) is the record keeper of a City’s recorded history.

Staff Report
5/2/2023 Page 2 of 2
William Bennett Munro, a Canadian historian, and political scientist, who taught at Harvard University and the California Institute of Technology, stated in one of his first textbooks written: “No other office in municipal service has so many contacts. It serves the Mayor, the City Council, the City Manager (when there is one), and all administrative departments, without exception. All of them call upon it, almost daily, for some service or information. Its work is not spectacular, but it demands versatility, alertness, accuracy, and no end of patience.
The public does not realize how many loose ends of city administration this office pulls together.”
Moving forward to the present time, the City Clerk’s office today is generally responsible for keeping a record of City Council meetings; agreements; recordings of official documents; legal advertisements; municipal elections; commissions and committees current files; claims against the city; and other legal or official documents.
City Clerks are required to keep record of the proceedings (minutes) of Council meetings (Government Code Sections 36814 and 40801). Minutes are the official record of a meeting which provides a history of the Council’s decisions and actions.
CONCLUSION
City Council is requested to approve the attached City Council / Agency Draft Minutes of the proceedings of March 21, 2023.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
No Financial Impact.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council consider a request from the Cudahy Youth Foundation (“Applicant”) to waive the Temporary Use Permit (“TUP”) fee, in the amount of $562.50, for their annual fireworks sales and take one of the following actions:
1. Approve the request and waive the TUP application fee.
2. Deny the request for a full fee waiver and approve a partial fee waiver determined by City Council.
3. Deny the request to waive the TUP application fee.

Pursuant to the Cudahy Municipal Code (CMC) Section
8.52.060, completed TUP applications involving the temporary sale of fireworks must be submitted no later than April 1 of every year.
On March 15,staffspoke with Cudahy Youth Foundation representative, Ms. Susie de Santiago, and discussed the fireworks TUP application and fee waiver process.

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
consideration of their annual fireworks sales to take place at 7907 Atlantic Ave (Cudahy Plaza Shopping Center).
On April 25, 2023, after completing review of the TUP application, a letter was sent to the Applicant outlining comments and additional information required to verify compliance with the CMC and to ensure public safety (Attachment B).
On April 27, 2023, Ms. Susie de Santiago, President of the Cudahy Youth Foundation,submitted a formal fee waiver request (Attachment C).

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Pursuant to CMC Section 20.84.260 a TUP allows for “temporary outdoor uses and the erection of booths, tents, or parking of trailers for temporary activities conducted either outdoors or within temporary structures.” Additionally, the sales of fireworks are permitted under the CMC Chapter 8.52 and per California Health and Safety Code (the “State Fireworks Law”), Division 11, Part 2. Additionally, per CMC Section 8.52.060(1) only non-profit organizations may be issued a TUP for firework sales.
A TUP for a firework sales permit requires the following information for City review:
• Property owner affidavit.
• Non-profit status from the IRS, such as the 501(c)(3). • Detailed site plan identifying the location of the fireworks stand. • Certificate of Liability Insurance.
• Proof of issuance of a Retail Fireworks License Application issued by the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
• Annual Fireworks Financial Report.
• Applicant’s Temporary Sellers Permit issued by the Department of Tax and Fee Administration.
• City Business License.
• Payment Fee of $562.50.
The $562.50 fee covers the cost of the Planning and Building & Safety staff to review, inspect, coordinate, and issue approval for the temporary use activities.
FISCAL IMPACT
The TUP application fee of $562.50 is intended to cover the City’s cost of processing permit issuance. If the City Council approves the applicant’s request for a fee waiver, costs associated with processing the TUP application, including staff time, will be absorbed by the General Fund.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council consider the Applicant’s request to waive the TUP fee and determine whether a fee waiver shall be approved or denied.

Cecilia,
As per our previous conversation, I mentioned that CYF is a nonprofit organization that consists of volunteers who want to help the local youth and their families. The sale of fireworks is our main fundraiser. With the funds that are raised we can continue to provide Cudahy Youth and their families with some of the basic necessities. We can also assist, financially, disadvantaged families with the opportunity to have their children engage in sports and creative programs.
On behalf of CYF, I am asking to consider waiving the TUP fees.
If you have any questions or concerns please let me know.
Thank you,
Susie de Santiago
Cudahy Youth Foundation, President

The LA River bikepath is a focal site for Cudahy and a key point in the Lower Los Angeles River Revitalization Plan (LLAR). It is a bike and pedestrian path for the City, and a potential catalyst to encourage green spaces, public art, and unify the City via community gardens, HUB for events. However, the River bikepath and adjacent areas are underutilized, and instead attract litter, graffiti, and unwanted activity. The infrastructure improvement and beautification project will revitalize the LA river, upgrading the bikepath, creating mural spaces, public art, and point of attractions like gateway entrances, benches, and attractive fencing and landscaping. Moreover, the Bridge Slopes and Cudahy River Park are adjacent to the River, and therefore their improvements will increase bike accessibility, increase green space, and deter litter by providing attractive landscaping areas. The Otis Pocket Park will convert an undeveloped lot into a park centered around public art.
The Cudahy Los Angeles River Area Improvement Project is a Citywide infrastructure and beautification project that includes four project sites. All four sites focus on beautification on current dilapidated areas, as well as creating cultural and recreation centers to incentivize community activity and instills pride in residents that substantially increases trash and debris accumulation at project sites:
Los Angeles River Bike Path (Site 1):
The LA River Bike Path is a major pedestrian and bicycle pathway that runs north-south of the City on the eastern city limits. The bike path is always accessible to all Cudahy residents as well as residents from neighboring cities. There are three city access points to enter the bike path: Live Oak Street, Clara Street, and across from Cudahy Park on River Road. The bike path is heavily used by residents for walking and cycling, whether for leisure or transportation.
Currently, the site is dilapidated, underutilized, and vulnerable to unwanted activity such as loitering, graffiti, and concentration of trash and debris. Therefore, the bike path is in very poor condition. Graffiti is rampant, large concentrations of trash and debris are scattered throughout the river, and locations that could be used for events and community recreation activities are not being utilized. Safety is also a concern. Residents are hesitant to use the bike path at certain hours due to the uncleanliness and unwanted activity.
The City’s General Plan as well as the Lower Los Angeles River Revitalization Plan have identified the LA River revitalization as a catalyst to reinvigorate economic development, recreation, and cultural activity.
The project proposes to revitalize the LA River. The pedestrian and bike path along Cudahy’s jurisdiction will be rehabilitated and restriped. Gateway monuments will be
RFP to Provide Design Phase Engineering Services for The Preparation of PS&E (Plan, Specifications and Estimates) For Cudahy Los Angeles River Area Improvement Project, Funded By Clean California Local Grant Project (CCLGP) Funds City of Cudahy, California RFP, Page 3
installed on all access points to create an inviting, attractive gateway that increases visibility for residents as well as installation of wayfinding signage. There will be major landscaping throughout the path using drought tolerant plants to provide shaded areas and pleasing views as residents walk or bike, and wall painting throughout the river with anti-graffiti paint. Architectural fencing will be installed along the path as well as benches and waste receptacles to serve as a rest area for residents. The project also proposed lighting installation throughout the bridge. River path walls will also display murals, public art, and sculptures painted by local artists and residents to instill pride in the bike path.
For purposes of this application, this site will also be known as “Site 1”.
Cudahy River Park (Site 2):
The Cudahy River Park is a small park located across the Clara access point of the LA River Bike Path. It currently has a pathway with benches. The park is currently being underutilized as many of the amenities are in poor state, not attracting many residents.
Although it is right across from the LA River Bike Path, there is disconnect between the two sites, which leads to utilization.
Note: The plans and specifications (construction documents) for Cudahy River Park have already been completed by others and is therefore considered a “shovel ready” project.
The selected design consultant will include these finalized plans and specifications as part of the finalized construction bid package. However, the selected consultant shall review these plans and specifications for consistency & code compliance and provide recommendations accordingly (if needed).
The Project proposes to link the River Park with the Bike Path, as proposed by the City’s General Plan, to synergize both sites and create a rest stop for bikers and residents who use the LA River path. The proposed gateway monument described in the LA River Bike Path site would complement a gateway monument and art placement at the entrance of the River Park to create an aesthetically pleasing and inviting entryway for both sites. The current underutilized pathway will be rehabilitated to a bike pathway, with the installation of bike amenities as well as fitness areas throughout the park. Misting fixtures will be placed at strategic points to emphasize the park’s focus on fitness and cycling. The bike path throughout the park would complement the bike path at the LA River. Further scope details include new stabilized granite edging and paving, upgrading the park’s irrigation system, installation of new BBQ units and drinking fountains, as well as bike repair stations. Currently the park does not have lighting. Therefore, pedestrian lighting will be installed throughout the park to increase safety and visibility. Landscaping will include drought tolerant native plants, as well as installation of art sculptures and public art related to the LA River to instill a sense of pride for the bike path.

These upgrades would increase the utility of the park, anchoring as a rest stop for pedestrians and bikers at the LA River bike path, increasing use for green spaces in that area, and creating a point for community events. Both sites complement each other to celebrate the LA River and bring pride to the bike path for our residents as a focal city recreation point.
In addition, in 2016, the City of Cudahy completed a sidewalk widening project and wheelchair ramp for ADA compliance along River Road to access River Park.
For purposes of this application, this site will also be known as “Site 2”.
Clara Bridge Slopes (Site 3):
Clara Bridge Slopes is the final site that focuses on revitalizing the LA River access point on Clara street. It is a right of way that leads to the Clara access point of the LA Bike Path, running perpendicular toward the Clara Street access point to the LA River Bike Path. Similar to the River Park and Bike Path entrance, it is in a dilapidated state, with large concentrations of trash and debris specifically accumulating on its slopes.
Additionally, the Clara Bridge slopes are a major entry way to the City on the east border of the City. Therefore, the results potentially serve as a major landmark for the City. The beautification of the Clara Bridge slopes gives the City a sense of identity, providing an instantly recognizable image when entering the City. However, currently the slopes do not have distinguishing features, is in a neglected state, and accumulates large amounts of graffiti, trash, and debris.
To eliminate trash and debris, emphasize the revitalized recreation hub between the LA River access point and River Park, and create a distinguishable landmark for residents entering the City, the project proposes beautification improvements along the bridge slopes facing the Clara access point and River Park entrance. The scope of work includes major landscaping reshaping the slopes to terraces, painting the slope’s rails, installing a city monument sign, planting native plants, and lighting for existing trees and plants.
The City is already planning on installing LED lighting on the Clara Bridge adjacent to the slopes. The LED lighting project along Clara Project will complement the beautification improvements that would be funded through this grant. It also shows that the City is committed to revitalizing this area of the community.
For purposes of this application, this site will also be known as “Site 3”.
Otis Avenue Pocket Park (Site 4):
RFP to Provide Design Phase Engineering Services for The Preparation of PS&E (Plan, Specifications and Estimates) For Cudahy Los Angeles River Area Improvement Project, Funded By Clean California Local Grant Project (CCLGP) Funds City of Cudahy, California RFP, Page 5
The site is currently an undeveloped, unused green lot at the intersection of Elizabeth Street, Otis Avenue, and Salt Lake Avenue at the western border of the City. The 0.26 acre lot is at across from an elementary school that is currently under construction, and a quarter mile to an existing elementary school on Clara Street. The lot is unused, and therefore attracts trash and debris. Although it was identified on the General Plan as a future park site, the lack of funding has been a major hurdle to develop the proposed pocket park.
Therefore, the project proposed to develop this lot into a pocket park that focuses on public art and native plant exhibition. The project proposes major landscaping to exhibit an educational center teaching about native Californian plants. A focal monument at the center of the triangular park is also proposed to emphasize the cultural connection the park brings to the City and students that are near it. Due to it being at the border of two neighboring cities, the project also proposed a city monument at the southern edge of the park to serve as an inviting welcome to incoming visitors as well as instilling a sense of pride to Cudahy residents. Pathways, benches and water fountains will also be installed to serve as waiting areas for parents who are waiting for their students to come out of school as well as a recreation and leisure area for those students after school hours. The project will serve as a beautification project that substantially increases recreation and cultural value in the area.
For purposes of this application, this site will also be known as “Site 4”.

RE: RFP to Provide Design Phase Engineering Services for the Preparation of PS&E (Plan, Specifications and Estimates) for Cudahy Los Angeles River Area Improvement Project Funded by Clean California Local Grant Project Funds
Dear Aaron:
SWA is proud to present our qualifications for the 4 CCLGP Sites in the City of Cudahy aim to enhance public amenities and beautify as well as discourage unwanted uses in public space. We understand that the City of Cudahy is committed to improving the quality of life of its residents, businesses and stakeholders by revitalizing the public realm such as the LA River bike path towards greater purposes recreationally and environmentally. As a design team, our aim is to collaborate with the City of Cudahy team and create safe, maintenance friendly design proposals that are enjoyable by the community and beyond.
The 4 CCLGP sites will be a key catalyst for optimizing the city’s public realm towards multiple benefits. We recognize this project will restore momentum and excitement around the LA River bike path and is part of a key strategic initiative of the City. In addition, the project will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by increasing tree canopy and encouraging greater commuter use of the multi-purpose trail.
Developing consensus along such a diverse set of environmental and urban contexts with numerous stakeholders is a worthy challenge. With your leadership and by garnering consensus from pertinent partners, agencies and stakeholders such as the US Army Corps of Engineers, members of the designated Cudahy team (Public Works, Police, Fire, Community Development and Parks, Recreation & Community Services, City Council); realizing this project will make for an even more livable, bikable, and walkable Cudahy community.
As the prime consultant, SWA will lead the landscape and urban design process helmed by Gerdo Aquino as the Principal-in-Charge / Lead Urban Designer and Ying-yu Hung as the Lead Landscape Architect , supported by Jeremy Klemic as the Project Manager and Field Specialist/QAQC. We recognize the importance of balancing the needs of a safe public amenities system with environmental sensitivity. Our team includes CWE as our civil engineering partner, P2S as our partner for lighting and electrical engineering, and Sweeney & Associates as our irrigation specialist.
The following projects demonstrate our team’s innovative public amenities focused projects in urban waterways in Southern California:
• In recent years, SWA has been closely collaborating with the City of Culver City with the Ballona Creek Task Force project and the Ballona Creek Vision Plan. SWA is also
SWA l City of Cudahy I 5
Gerdo Aquino, FASLA
Co-CEO / Principal
proud to have collaborated with the City on the Culver Boulevard Median Park project with Tetra Tech as the prime consultant. We are also currently leading the concept vision for the Media Park improvement project.
• In 2016, SWA completed Milton Street Park, Los Angeles’ first green street and linear park involving coordination between the USACE, LA County Flood Control District, and the City of Los Angeles. SWA successfully mediated the interests and spatial needs of various agencies such as LABSS, LACFCD, USACE, and stakeholders, including the neighbors, the local school district, and cyclists. Milton Street Park was awarded the 2016 ASLA Southern California Chapter Award of Merit.
• Since 2015, SWA has been working along the Santa Monica beachfront through a compilation of projects: the Santa Monica North Beach Trail and the Palisades Park renovation projects. Due to its iconic status as a tourist destination, the Santa Monica beachfront experienced congestion and related to that, frequent and dangerous pedestrian and cyclist conflicts. SWA designed a separated pedestrian and bicycle track on the North Beach Trail, which completed construction and opened in 2020, just in time for the increased usage of outdoor amenities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. SWA also renovated the pedestrian pathways and planting areas at Palisades Park overlooking the beach, creating a native plant experience that is drought tolerant and expressive of Southern California’s plant palette. • Since 2020, SWA has been working on the restoration and renovation of Burton Chace Park at Marina del Rey. SWA is currently on two on-call landscape architecture contracts with the LA County Public Works’ landscape architecture division and the LA County Beaches & Harbors. Working in close collaboration with the client groups, SWA is responsible for a sensitive redesign of this beloved waterfront amenity.
• Since 2020, SWA has been working with LA County Public Works in designing a bicycle and walking path for public use along the Eaton Wash has been a priority for Temple City since its first proposal in the County’s 1975 Plan of Bikeways. Granted funding in 2019, the bikepath design is finally taking shape for the community to enjoy. In partnership with the County of Los Angeles, SWA is working to help achieve Temple City’s goals in providing an active space for connection and recreational opportunity within the area.
We would be honored to partner with the City of Cudahy, select stakeholders, and pertinent commissions to bring site improvements to life. We hope to have the opportunity to speak with you about this important project. Gerdo Aquino will serve as the authorized representatives who can bind this proposal and guarantee the information contained herein for at least 60 days.
Gerdo Aquino, Co-CEO, is authorized to bind this agreement, and will comply with all the terms and conditions of this RFP. Additionally, we recognize Addendum 1 issued on 3/23/2023.

Executive Summary
THE LA RIVER - URBAN ECOLOGY
The Los Angeles River is uniquely situated in the City of Cudahy, and serves as a vital local and regional amenity for residents, commuters, and visitors. We recognize the great value of improving the experience and conditions along the path to provide a safe place for residents of nearby disadvantage communities to enjoy, and to further the City’s commitment to create a greater quality of life.
SWA - HISTORY WITH URBAN WATERWAYS
Los Angeles River is an essential urban waterway that connects users to the Pacific Ocean as well as several vibrant urban areas. Since 2008, SWA has been involved with improvement projects along the Ballona Creek including the Milton Street Park & Green Street (client: MRCA), and more recently the Ballona Creek Task Force (Culver City) and the Ballona Creek Vision Plan (Local Organizations). Through these engagements, SWA has become familiar with the following stakeholders and their highest hopes as well as well-founded concerns regards to improvements along Ballona Creek: City of Culver City- Economic Development, Public Works, Recreation & Parks; Baldwin Hills Conservancy, LACFCD, USACE, City of Los Angeles, Ballona Creek Renaissance, Friends of Ballona Wetlands, Culver City Chamber of Commerce, The Bay Foundation, Tree People.
Through multiple community engagement sessions and stakeholder group meetings we are intimately familiar with effective design solutions and consensus building exercises.
Through these engagements, we have maintained longstanding relationships with major stakeholders along the creek and have been able to integrate principles of urban greening, sustainability, and innovative infrastructure into our proposed interventions.
PROJECT TEAM
SWA’s team includes Gerdo Aquino, firmwide Co-CEO and Principal-in-Charge; who is not only a visionary designer but also experienced in investigating the opportunities and challenges surrounding the urban waterways of Los Angeles including LA River. Gerdo is joined by Jeremy Klemic, project manager and field specialist, who will together see that the design concept for this project will be vetted against the field conditions and jurisdictional oversight that determines constructibility. Milton Street Park is proof of concept that, finding a sensitive solution that balances the recreational needs of cyclists, joggers and pedestrians, while also creating an innovative urban stormwater management system is feasible. With SWA’s leadership on this project, we are prepared to take the reigns on the multi-jurisdictional and stakeholder process that will result in another successful design that improves user experience and the overall popularity of the Los Angeles River.

SWA Services
Landscape Architecture - Landscape architecture at SWA
involves the design of landscapes at a variety of scales— from large, multi-functional sites to small, intimate spaces.
Innovative research into materials, lifestyles and landscape technologies coupled with a deep understanding of how
people use outdoor spaces inform our unique design
process. SWA’s landscape architectural work has received worldwide recognition for its innovative excellence.
Urban Design - Urban design at SWA involves the systematic layering of various cultural and natural systems in order to solve design issues of the city. As with planning, we integrate high-level landscape architecture into our urban design work. Whether it’s decaying infrastructure, a prominent urban district, high-density living, a river corridor, heavily used public spaces, or a series of transit stations, urban design requires a sophisticated understanding of integrating nature into dense urban environments. The multi-functional character of urban design is the key to its success. SWA excels in this regard, and our success can be measured by the quality of our implemented projects around the world.
Planning - SWA provides land planning and master planning, and we integrate high-level landscape architecture into our planning work. Our plans make sensitive use of topography, landform, natural resources, vegetation, infrastructure, and buildings, resulting in more livable and sustainable projects.
This approach can nurture new directions for the master planning of communities, campuses, workplaces, civic
and commercial districts, transit-oriented developments, waterfronts, recreation, and natural system restoration. As needed, we pull together teams of consultants ranging from engineers to scientists
Urban Waterways - LA River
At SWA, we are designers first, but our core motivations are to strengthen communities through a thoughtful approach to improving the public realm. Waterways serve the Los Angeles Community and its vast neighborhoods in multiple ways:
from enhancing a neighborhood with recreational amenities, to increasing the real estate value and stimulating business growth, to promoting the recreational amenities so that all residents can lead active lifestyles immersed in the natural environment. From urban waterways to the coastlines,
SWA has planned and re-imagined these unique spaces with specific consideration to ecological, health and economic benefits.
Universal Design/ADA Compliance
Designing a public space that is comfortable and accessible by all is a factor that SWA incorporates into every project.
In particular, our public projects involve great consideration for the standards and accommodations required by
people of all ages and abilities. We closely adhere to
the recommendations and specifications set forth in
the Americans with Disabilities Act as well as the site requirements and constantly ask ourselves “how will this space be used?” whose collective experience complements our own.
SWA l City of Cudahy I 11
SWA has provided concept through construction
documentation services in landscape architecture for
multiple municipalities. A brief overview is provided below.
Milton Street Park (Los Angeles, CA):
A 1.2 acre linear urban park alongside the Ballona Creek Bike Trail on the westside of Los Angeles. The undeveloped parcel stretches over 1,000 feet in length (45 feet wide) and is linked on both ends by previously developed portions of the bike path. In conjunction with the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA), SWA conducted three
community meetings including a public charrette to ensure that the needs of the residents were acknowledged and
addressed in the subsequent three design options. The
completed park design, reached through community
consensus, includes native plantings, bird watching
platforms, bike trail enhancement, seating areas and shade structures, on-site stormwater capture and treatment, as well as the creation of interpretative ecological habitat for birds, insects and reptiles.

Project Specific Approach
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The SWA Team will leverage its experience working with the USACE and the County of Los Angeles for this project.
The City of Cudahy received Clean California Local Grant Project (CCLGP) Funds from Caltrans for this project. The project includes four site improvements, focusing around the City’s portion of the LA River. This project will beautify and improve public spaces, deter littering by developing unused lots, increase access to bike paths, increase green space and provide areas for public art. The SWA team understands that the City received approximately $4.8m through CCLGP funds, including hard costs and soft costs.
We believe that communication is the key to a successful project and that project meetings and informal dialogue are especially important to achieving excellence in design. Our collaborative approach extends to our clients with whom we work and to engineering colleagues with whom we explore new prototypes and new attitudes toward the man-made world. We appreciate working with those who share our goals and who have equally strong points of view. Our stake lies not only with the intricacy or complexity of designing and building a place, but also in discovering the intrinsic qualities of that place. Everything aims toward that accomplishment.
The project scope includes Project Management, Utility Coordination, Preliminary Engineering, Plans, Specifications & Estimate, Bidding and Construction Support, and Preparation of Record Drawings for four distinct sites. We understand that the CCLGP funding aims to:
• Reduce the amount of waste and debris within public rights-of-way, pathways, parks, transit centers, and other public spaces.
• Enhance, rehabilitate, restore, or install measures to beautify and improve public spaces and mitigate the urban heat island effect.
• Enhance public health, cultural connection, and community placemaking by improving public spaces for walking and recreation.
• Advance equity for underserved communities.
The proposed improvements at four public spaces are:
1. Los Angeles River Bike Path (Site 1): Bikepath restriping, installing permeable pavers, benches, trash bins along river, upgrading fencing, pedestrian lighting, landscaping, irrigation system, entrances beautification, murals and public art opportunities.
2. Cudahy River Park (Site 2): Landscape improvements to the existing park across the river main entrance. Bike path linkage improvements including pathway rehabilitation, biking amenities, fitness areas, BBQ units and drinking fountains, public art opportunities, drought tolerant landscaping, pedestrian lighting and irrigation system.
3. Clara Bridge Slopes (Site 3): Conversion of slopes to terrace gardens with native plant landscaping to deter littering, LA River way finders, fencing upgrades, and lighting for existing trees. Creating a landmark entrance to the City.
4. Otis Avenue Pocket Park (Site 4): Converting an undeveloped lot across from an under construction elementary school into a pocket park. Native plant landscape displays, pedestrian pathways, benches and water fountains, irrigation, a new City monument and public art opportunities.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
SWA l City of Cudahy I 13
Our Team recognizes that the task at hand is greater than simply improving the paths for cyclists or pedestrians or providing additional public amenities; there is a broader opportunity to improve the public perception of this portion of the LA River as an urban ecological corridor that promotes sustainability, environmental equity, and climate resiliency.
We will work with the City to establish thoughtful and
concentrated solutions with enhancement opportunities
most applicable to each site’s unique conditions and the community they serve.
The proposed leadership team for this proposal, Gerdo
Aquino (Co-CEO), Ying-yu Hung (Managing Principal), and Jeremy Klemic (Associate Principal) have accomplished a variety of tasks related to public spaces locally including along urban waterways, including: concept, design,
construction administration, and coordination. The first and most important step is to listen and understand; thus comprehending the City of Cudahy’s goals for revitalizing the Bike Path, creating community park space, promoting cultural values and instilling pride in these regional
amenities. Through a collaborative visioning process working with the city, SWA will gather the shared interests, goals, and opportunities for this project.
The project scope includes preparation of all necessary plans and to provide to the City a complete PS&E package ready for bidding. The following description of work defines the general project requirements. Associated tasks and
provisions necessary for a complete project within the

Proposed Project Team
CWE
CWE is an award-winning civil engineering, water resources, and environmental engineering firm.
CWE’s cofounders, Vik Bapna and Jason Pereira, met while working for the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works and Flood Control District. Jason was a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Program Manager working with 84 Co-Permittee municipalities, and Vik was a Watershed Manager over multiple large watersheds, including the Los Angeles River, San Gabriel River, Dominguez Channel, and Los Angeles Harbor. In their dealings with stormwater and watershed management consultants, it became apparent that there was a gap in the market for reliable professionals to provide innovative and sound solutions to public agencies. Vik and Jason decided to put their understanding of public agency operations and the unique challenges they face to work by forming CWE in 2006.
Vik and Jason founded CWE as a Disadvantaged (DBE), Minority (MBE), and Small Business Enterprise (SBE), and in 2008, moved the firm’s headquarters from a home office to a professional building in Anaheim, California. Through these formative years, CWE significantly expanded from stormwater and watershed management to a broad range of services consisting of civil engineering, water resources, environmental engineering, project planning and design, staff augmentation, and construction support. To match this rapid growth and our clients’ footprint, CWE branched out and opened offices in Utah (2011) and San Diego (2012), and expanded and relocated our corporate headquarters to Fullerton, California in 2012.
CWE’s engineers, scientists, designers, and construction support professionals are committed to providing exceptional consulting services to clients and carrying out the original philosophy and vision of our founders.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA; SWA PROJECT
SWA provided full landscape architectural design services for the Milton Street Park, a 1.2 acre linear urban park alongside the Ballona Creek Bike Trail on the westside of Los Angeles.
The undeveloped parcel stretches over 1,000 feet in length (45 feet wide) and is linked on both ends by previously developed portions of the bike path. In conjunction with the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA), SWA conducted three community meetings including a public charrette to ensure that the needs of the residents were acknowledged and addressed in the subsequent three design options. The completed park design, reached through
community consensus, includes native plantings, bird
watching platforms, bike trail enhancement, seating
areas and shade structures, on-site stormwater capture
and treatment, as well as the creation of interpretative ecological habitat for birds, insects and reptiles.

CULVER CITY, CALIFORNIA; SWA PROJECT
The Ballona Creek Task Force is comprised of a multidisciplinary team from the Public Offices of Culver City:
Division of Economic Development, Division of Advanced
Planning, Department of Public Works, and the Ballona Creek Task Force.
Ballona Creek is perhaps one of the most prized ‘hidden gems’ in the Los Angeles region, serving as a recreational pathway and connector between the westside cities. The
water quality and recreational opportunities at Ballona Creek has the potential to help heal and transform the city from the perspective of flood protection, increasing biodiversity, and adding a much needed multi-modal transportation
infrastructure (pedestrians, bicyclists, kayaks). SWA is proud to have partnered with the City of Culver City on this important project that requires stakeholders to come to fully agree on the terms of the project.

North Beach Trail
SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA; SWA & ALTA PROJECT
The Santa Monica beachfront is more popular than ever, a bustling scene of tourists, cyclists, skate boarders, roller bladers, and pedestrians experiencing the beach at varying speeds. The popularity of the North Beach Trail has raised the issue of safety hazards between beachgoers moving at various speeds, coming into conflict on the narrow walkways and bicycle lanes.
SWA, in partnership with KPFF and ALTA, assisted the City of Santa Monica through the community outreach, design, and eventual construction of a better organized, safer, and therefore improved landscape experience for this important civic amenity. Recognizing the wide range of stakeholders, the team’s community outreach included support to the City through exhibits, interviews, and open houses. The team also conducted surveys to document the unique ways in which people used the existing trail, as well as on-site interviews to capture direct feedback from trail users about perceived safety issues and short- and long-term needs. Completed phases of the project reopened in 2020.
The trail is popular with tourists, recreational cyclists and beach visitors who can maintain a safe distance with the newly separated pathways.

Santa Monica Palisades Park needed landscape planting and a fencing strategy that would discourage non-permitted
gathering and also preserve the park’s natural amenities.
Three parcels of land near this high-profile location adjacent to the iconic Santa Monica Pier is now planted with agave, aloe, and other drought tolerant species. Apart from the low fencing structure the point shape of the plants discourage users from treading through the planting area, thereby
alleviating the issue of soil compaction.
