Motion (Hernandez, Rodriguez - Lee) relative to funding to repair pedestrian facilities (sidewalks, curb ramps, crosswalks, etc.) in preparation for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. (This is referred to the Ad Hoc Committee on the 2028 Olympics and Paralympic Games and the Public Works Committee.)

This motion allocates $5,281,686 from the Unappropriated Balance Fund to repair pedestrian facilities, including sidewalks, curb ramps, and crosswalks, in preparation for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games and the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The funding will be distributed to the Bureau of Engineering ($865,000 for staff costs, construction contracts, and consultant services), the Office of Community Beautification ($3,986,868 to partner with the Los Angeles Neighborhood Initiative and the Los Angeles Conservation Corps for sidewalk repairs, with a focus on youth job training), and the Department of Transportation ($430,000 for capital planning and engineering support). An additional $20,000 is allocated to the Bureau of Street Lighting for street lighting design related to these events. The motion declares these repairs a matter of urgent necessity to ensure corridor safety and accessibility.
