DISCUSSION:
The City received funding through the HUD Economic Development Initiative - Community Project Funding Program for the Pacific Electric Trail Improvement Project. On December 10, 2024, the City Council approved the installation of a shade canopy for a portion of the project area located along the trail east of Interstate 15 and west of North Heritage Circle.
In the meantime, the City hired various contractors to perform additional improvement work, including grading, foundation preparation for outdoor fitness equipment, purchasing fitness equipment, tree planting, and installing irrigation along the trail. Most of the work has been completed, and staff determined that sufficient funding remained to extend shade coverage across the entire fitness zone area. This planned enhancement has resulted in a contract increase of $81,817.50.
