BACKGROUND
In 2006, City Council accepted completion of Phase I of the Discovery River Park Project. Phase

miles of Class I shared -use bicycle and pedestrian path along the Santa Clara River embankment
including grading, signage, striping, fencing, landscaping, perimeter street trees, irrigation, and
installation of a prefabricated pedestrian/bicycle bridge at the entrance to the park site. Planning
and preliminary design of the park site has been completed. However, funding for construction
documents, permits and construction has not been identified to date. This grant, if awarded,
would provide up to $1,000,000 for the completion of design and construction of a phase of
Discovery River Park.
Proposition 50 provided $70,000,000 to establish the CRP competitive grant fund. This is the
last of four cycles of grant applications. A total of $20,500,000 will be awarded during this
cycle. The grant application must be post -marked and delivered by October 19, 2007.

General Fund will be requested.
