Project: Tujunga Canyon and Marcus Ave Septic to Sewer
Requested Amount: $5,084,800
Recipient: City of Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation (LASAN)
Recipient Address: 200 N Spring St., Los Angeles, CA, 90012
Summary: This project will convert 107 existing Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems to publicly owned mainline and service sewer pipes on Tujunga Canyon Boulevard, Silverton Avenue, Elmo Street, Fairgrove Avenue, and Marcus Avenue in Los Angeles, California. The foothill communities of Sunland-Tujunga and Shadow Hills have the highest concentration of septic systems in Los Angeles. These systems carry risks: they can pollute groundwaters, and in some cases, their drainfields can contribute to landslide risks and soil instability, particularly on steep slopes or in oversaturated ground. The installation of sewers will mitigate risks to water quality and public health in all Upper Los Angeles River & Tributaries, which are downstream from these locations. Once completed, this project will be able to redirect 8 million gallons of sewage into a safer and more efficient sewer system.
Project: Oro Vista Local Area Urban Storm Water Flow Management Network
Requested Amount: $5,000,000
Recipient: City of Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation (LASAN)
Recipient Address: 200 N Spring St., Los Angeles, CA, 90012
Summary: This project will implement measures improve storm water management at the intersection of Foothill Blvd. and Oro Vista Ave. in Los Angeles. The project would construct storm drain, catch basins with diversion structures, infiltration planters, permeable sidewalks, drywells, and street trees in order to capture and treat stormwater. These features will improve water quality and remove pollutants affecting local water bodies by capturing, treating, and infiltrating stormwater runoff. The project will additionally increase water supply, modernize storm water infrastructure, and provide reliable pedestrian access during storm events. The project will improve water quality, reduce stormwater runoff, replenish groundwater, enhance public safety, and address flood control issues. This project will allow the community to capture and infiltrate stormwater, protecting public health and safety as well as reducing residential exposure to hazards.
Project: Crescenta Valley Water District PFAS Treatment
Requested Amount: $1,300,000
Recipient: Crescenta Valley Water District
Recipient Address: 2700 Foothill Boulevard, La Crescenta, CA, 91214
Summary: This project will install three ion exchange treatment systems at locations across CA-30 to address risks to public health for non-regulated contaminants by treating water for PFAS. This project will ensure that the water from the Verdugo Groundwater Basin is PFAS free before it is delivered to customers, and will reduce reliance on imported water. In addition to Crescenta Valley Water District, the Verdugo Groundwater Basin provides water to Glendale Water and Power. This project will enable increased local water supply for both agencies, providing a benefit to approximately 43,000 people in CA-30, including residents, schools, and businesses.

Summary: The funding would be used for upgrades to bus stops facilities across CA-30 locations and address community needs through enhanced shade, seating, lighting, real-time information, and accessibility features. Well-lit and well-maintained bus stops are vital infrastructure that contribute to safety and security, improving the overall perception of safety for public transit riders. According to LA Metro’s 2022 Customer Experience Plan, adding bus shelters, improving seating and lack of shade at bus stops was a top priority among riders. The Regional Bus Stop Improvements Phase II project will improve transit access, safety, and community viability by supporting riders in transit reliant areas, boosting local businesses, and strengthening connections to jobs, schools, and services.
Project: Modular Fire Training Complex
Requested Amount: $3,500,000
Recipient: City of Burbank
Recipient Address: 275 East Olive Avenue, Burbank, CA 91502
Summary: The funding would be used to replace the Burbank Fire Department’s existing drill tower with a modular facility to be used for fire training. Currently, the Burbank Fire Department utilizes a four-story concrete drill tower located at the Fire Training Center for fire training. This tower serves as a noncombustible structure where flammable materials are placed inside to simulate the high-heat and intense smoke environments that firefighters encounter during an emergency. The complex allows for specialized training, such as search and rescue, confined space exercises, and roof operations. However, the current training tower was originally built in 1950 and has experienced years of fire exposure damage to the concrete building, creating safety concerns regarding the integrity of the structure. The antiquated design further limits training opportunities and contributes to pollution concerns due to the lack of clean fuel options during fire training. The project would replace the old and overused concrete
tower with a new prefabricated, modular steel tower, which will enable more advanced flame control and heat monitoring systems that allow for enhanced firefighter safety during training.
Project: Workforce Development Training Facility Expansion
Requested Amount: $1,500,000
Recipient: City of Burbank
Recipient Address: 275 East Olive Avenue, Burbank, CA 91502

The project will help to close existing gaps in a 51 mile long continuous multi-use path along the LA River flood control channel. LADOT is working with partner agencies towards creating a continuous, paved bikeway along the entire length of the Los Angeles River, from the headwaters in West San Fernando Valley to the Long Beach Harbor. Expanding the LA River bike path will promote active transportation and encourage more users to travel to the surrounding neighborhoods, leading to increased foot traffic for local businesses.
