Neighborhood applicant seeks $52,000 for median conversion parklet in District 6
Summary
A District 6 resident presented a CIP application to convert a median into a parklet with irrigation, new curb/gutter, trees and a bench; project #64 was credited with community support and an East Bench Community Council letter.
Barbara Bosmajian told the council she is the applicant for a CIP project titled 'Median Conversion to Parklet' (item #64 in the mayor's budget) located in District 6 and credited project liaison staff for help in preparing a projected budget of $52,000.
"I gathered over 100 signatures from residents by going door to door and attending a town hall," Bosmajian said, and she noted a supporting letter from the East Bench Community Council. She asked the council to fund necessary curb and gutter upgrades, a drought‑tolerant irrigation system, trees and seating to create a neighborhood gathering space.
The council did not take immediate funding action; it closed the CIP public hearing and deferred project‑specific funding decisions to a future meeting.
