HUNTINGTON BEACH...In 2010, the City completed the landscape improvements along the north side of Edinger Avenue west of Bolsa Chica Street. The project was funded collectively through a Federal grant, private fundraising by local residents, and City funding. Through community input during the design phase, the need for on-street parking was identified along Edinger Avenue for activities such as the annual boat parade. City staff was able to incorporate a pedestrian/bicycle path into the design that would allow for the removal of the striped bicycle path currently located along the north side of Edinger Avenue. This in turn would allow for reconfiguration of the street striping to facilitate on-street parking along the south side of Edinger Avenue. Not only will this path provide a safer travel route for bicyclists, but will also allow residents to enjoy the newly landscaped area.
However, due to funding constraints the path as envisioned was not completed as part of the project. Luckily, in October of 2011, OCTA informed the City that a State grant had been awarded in the amount of approximately $192,000, which will cover 75% of the construction cost to complete the path. It is anticipated that City will provide the necessary 25% match and will budget this project in the FY 2012-13 Capital Improvement Program.
