DISCUSSION
The California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) Urban Greening Grant Program
funds projects that reduce greenhouse gases while also transforming the built
environment into places that are more sustainable, enjoyable, and effective in creating
healthy and vibrant communities. These projects will establish and enhance parks and
open space, using natural solutions to improve air and water, reduce energy
consumption, and create walkable and bike-able trails.
The Public Works Agency (PWA) submitted a successful application for funding from
the Urban Greening Grant Program for the Bristol-Tolliver Street Greening Project. The
Project features the transformation of vacant City-owned parcels at the intersection of
Bristol Street and Tolliver Street into a 1.25-acre new community park. The park will
include drought tolerant landscaping, shade trees, recreational features, pedestrian
pathways, signage, lighting, picnic benches, a stormwater bioretention basin, and a
stormwater capture and reuse system for park irrigation (Exhibit 1). The project will
provide significant aesthetic, recreational, and environmental benefits to the community.
