Full summary

This motion, introduced by Councilmember Bob Blumenfield and seconded by Councilmember Nithya Raman on May 1, 2026, sought approval for the City to accept and administer a Proposition 68 grant from the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy (SMMC) for the LARiverWay Segment 1 and 2 project. Proposition 68, the Parks, Environment and Water Bond, funds habitat restoration, water infrastructure, and park improvements across California. The LARiverWay project is a regional initiative to create parks, trails, habitat, and recreational access along the Los Angeles River. The motion directed the City to work with SMMC and other stakeholders on the planning and implementation of Segments 1 and 2 of the project.

The Council adopted the item forthwith on May 12, 2026, with a vote of 14-0-1. The file was then transmitted to the Mayor on May 12, with a May 22, 2026 deadline for mayoral action.
