State: California
City: Long Beach
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 01/09/2022
Size of the Grant: $3 million

Details:
The goal of the Community Infrastructure Grant Program (Grant Program) is to reduce port-related impacts associated with air quality, noise, traffic and water quality by funding community infrastructure projects outside the Harbor District, in the neighborhoods and corridors where these impacts are most acutely felt.
Project Objectives
- Increase the use of alternative modes of transportation (i.e., bicycling and walking)
- Improve connectivity of existing mobility network for maximum utilization of bicycling and pedestrian infrastructure
The following projects are eligible
Bicycling Infrastructure Improvements: Projects that provide access and mobility for local and regional bicycle travel, gap closures that connect bikeway networks, on-street improvements to bicycle transit lanes and parking. This may include new or expanded bike lanes, bicycle parking, support facilities, and traffic-calming measures as described below.
- Pedestrian Infrastructure Improvements: Projects that improve the pedestrian environment in order to promote walking as a viable form of transportation. Projects may include new or expanded sidewalks to address pedestrian access gaps, pedestrian signals at underserved intersections, and pedestrian overcrossings to help increase pedestrian capacity in congested areas and support the shift from vehicular modes of transportation.
- Traffic-Calming Measures: Physical measures that reduce the negative effects of vehicular traffic and improve conditions for non-motorized street users to enhance bicycling and walking.
- Projects may include pedestrian-scale lighting, raised crosswalks, pedestrian crossing lights, signage, and streetscaping (including trees and other landscaping) to complement other traffic calming measures.
