Use federal relief and settlement funds to cover city project shortfalls
In Plain English
The city received money from two sources: federal pandemic relief funds and a legal settlement with Chevron. Staff identified shortfalls in various transportation and environmental projects totaling millions of dollars. If approved, these funds cover gaps in bike lanes, street improvements, and greenhouse gas reduction programs that the city already committed to build.
