LA County Opportunities
LA County Measure W: Safe, Clean, Water
To help fund stormwater projects across the Los
Angeles County region, the Los Angeles County Safe
Clean Water Program Parcel Tax (Measure W) was
passed in the November 2018 election. The total
dedicated funding to the city for stormwater quality
work from these sources is approximately $2.75
million annually.64 Therefore, there are opportunities
for Culver City Public Works and PRCS to utilize
these funds to fund stormwater capture projects
in parks space.
LA County Measure A
In 2016, LA County passed the Safe, Clean
Neighborhood Parks and Beaches Measure. The
Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space
District (RPOSD) is responsible for implementing
and administering Measure A. RPOSD provides
grant awards and other support to agencies
throughout LA County.65 This funding can be helpful
for parks projects and can utilize the LA County
Technical Assistance (TAP) Program to access design
teams for completing projects.
224 IMPLEMENTATION // PRIORITIZATION, COSTS, AND FUNDING
LA County Measure M
In 2016, LA County passed Measure M, which
focuses on projects to ease traffic congestion,
repair streets and sidewalks, expand transportation,
and meet other needs for LA County Metro as
well as local jurisdictions.66 This funding can be
helpful, particularly for enhancing access to parks,
particularly when close to Metro stops and trails,
such as the Metro Bike Trail near Syd Kronenthal
Park.
