Public Works Director Jessica Khan provided a rundown of major capital projects that will affect streets, coastal bluffs and public parks.

On Cliff Drive, Khan said erosion from the 2022–23 storms prompted a federal‑aid eligible resiliency project. Design and permitting are nearly complete and federal funding currently covers roughly 25% of the planned scope; staff said they are pursuing additional grants and expect construction as early as 2027. “The funding we have is really only for about 25% of this project,” Khan said, and the city will seek further grants to expand the work.

Khan described a pavement‑rehabilitation project for 41st Avenue that includes pavement repairs plus bike and pedestrian improvements; that project uses a combination of city funds and grant funding from the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC). She also described the Bay Avenue corridor study (roundabout concepts and pedestrian safety) and said final designs will position the city to apply for construction grants from Caltrans and other sources.

Khan reported that the Stockton Bridge — nearly 100 years old and a concrete box‑girder structure — has had debris damage and earlier repairs; staff were directed to schedule a structural study that may require lane closures during the winter study period. She said Esplanade Park and the Richland Mansion park project are also moving forward: the Richland Mansion improvements are in punch‑list phase and expected to open in early December, and the city anticipates a Coastal Conservancy grant award to support Esplanade improvements.

Khan emphasized that many of these projects are grant‑dependent and that timelines hinge on grant awards, permitting and federal scheduling.
