For Federal Fiscal Year 2023, $4,680,000 is available in California; the maximum amount that an applicant may seek is $2,000,000.
Eligible development projects include the following:
•Construction of new trails
•Expansion or connection of existing trails
•Renovation of existing trails
•Pedestrian bridges over roads or waterways
•Development of trailhead facilities
•Development of trailhead features
•Landscape and habitat restoration
The City currently offers five nature trails, which are utilized year-round. To support and enhance the existing trails in the community, and in pursuit of new trails, staff recommends the submittal of an application for RTP funds. The grant application is due April 7, 2022 and requires an authorizing resolution from the City Council. Staff is in the process of analyzing and developing the grant application.
Staff recommends City Council authorization to submit a one-time application for grant funds from the Recreational Trails Program (RTP).
