DISCUSSION
The Clean California Local Grant Program (CCLGP) is a competitive statewide program created to beautify and clean local streets and roads, tribal lands, parks, pathways, transit centers, and other public spaces. A total amount of $114.5 million was made available statewide for projects that reduce waste and debris, install measures to beautify and improve public spaces and mitigate the urban heat island effect, improve public spaces for walking and recreation, and advance equity for underserved communities.
The Public Works Agency submitted a successful application for $398,000 of funding for Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) bus stop facility improvements throughout the city (Exhibit 1). This project will provide one new bus shelter, 34 benches, 28 trash bins, two trees, and up to five selected sidewalk repairs. These improvements foster the District Transit Partnership’s primary objective of enhancing the cleanliness and attractiveness of bus stops within the city. The shelter and benches will afford transit users the ability to comfortably sit while waiting for bus arrivals and the new trash bins will decrease the amount of litter and debris at the bus shelters.

The City received a Notice to Proceed on January 8, 2024 in the amount of $398,000 from CCLGP (Exhibit 2). A resolution authorizing the Executive Director of the Public Works Agency (Exhibit 3) to enter into a Restricted Grant Agreement (RGA) with Caltrans was approved on December 19, 2023 (Exhibit 4). The Clean California Local Grant Program (CCLGP) can be applied to projects that beautify and clean local streets and roads, tribal lands, parks, pathways, transit centers, and other public spaces. These funds were granted and can be applied towards our Bus Stop Improvement Project due to the project providing new and improved benches, trashcans, and sidewalk at bus stops within the scope.
