Summary
Council voted to submit three grant applications to the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy for projects totaling $9,446,650 in requested grants; the council authorized acceptance of awards if granted.
The Long Beach City Council on Jan. 20 authorized the submission of three grant applications to the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy for park and trail projects and authorized acceptance of awards if the grants are made.
The applications are: $453,000 for the Drake‑Chavez connection project; $4,000,000 for the Willow Springs Trailhead project; and $4,993,650 for the San Gabriel Rivers Trail Westside Enhancement Phase 2 project. City staff presented the items and council members voiced support; Councilwoman Kerr noted a letter of support from Friends of Willow Springs.
City staff summarized the projects as investments in trail connections and trailhead access; if awarded the three grants together the total award would be $9,446,650. (The grant totals listed at the meeting add to $9,446,650; the meeting record contained a numeric transcription error that listed an extra zero in a not‑to‑exceed total.) The council authorized staff to submit the applications and accept the grants if awarded.
