The City has participated in the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program since 1975 as part of the Urban County CDBG Program, which is administered by the County of Santa Clara. This program provides CDBG funds for capital projects that benefit low and very low-income households, or otherwise disadvantaged persons. Projects funded by these grant monies include affordable housing developments, housing rehabilitation loans and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access barrier removal improvements.
An inventory of all downtown parking plaza driveway entrances was conducted in 2015. Seven approaches were found to be non-compliant and presented to be an access barrier to those with disabilities traveling along the public sidewalk or attempting to access the public sidewalk from accessible parking spaces within the parking plazas.
This CIP project will make improvements to the driveway approaches to bring them into compliance and remove access barriers.
