The Los Angeles City Council approved a $2.23 million allocation for various transportation infrastructure projects. This includes the transfer of $898,211 across departments and funds, a $150,000 intra-departmental transfer, and a $400,000 appropriation for the Balboa Boulevard Widening at Devonshire Street project. Additionally, funds previously allocated to the Main Street Bus Stop and Pedestrian Improvements and the Main Street Pedestrian Enhancement projects were rescinded and redirected to the Boyle Heights Chavez Avenue Streetscape Pedestrian Improvements project, which is experiencing a funding shortfall. The City Administrative Officer (CAO) is authorized to make technical corrections as needed to facilitate the implementation of these financial allocations.
This funding supports critical transportation infrastructure enhancements in Los Angeles, ensuring improved pedestrian access and road expansions to accommodate growing city needs. The reallocation of funds addresses project shortfalls and allows for the completion of key pedestrian improvement projects.
