DISCUSSION
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law of 2021 (BIL) reauthorized the Recreational Trails
Program (RTP) through the Federal FY/2026, to provide annual funding for recreational
trails and trails -related projects. The RTP is administered at the federal level by the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and at the state level by the California
Department of Parks and Recreation, Office of Grants & Local Services (OGALS). With
this current grant cycle, the RTP will be providing $3.4 million in local assistance grants
to support non -motorized recreational trail projects.
The Park Services Division of the Public Works Agency intends to submit an application
requesting funding to install new lighting along a half -mile length of the Pacific Electric
Bike Trail, from Occidental Street to Warner Avenue, along with installation of signage
and mile markers. This new capital improvement will provide commuters with a safe,
well -lit trail system that will extend the hours that residents can connect to recreational
amenities and activity centers within the City.
The total estimated project cost is $1,388,854. The RTP program requires a 12-percent
match. If awarded, the City shall provide $166,662 in matching grant funds. The source
of this grant match will be from Capital Outlay (Cell Tower revenues).
