Myrtle’s Message Skyline Hills Branch Library
Public Art Project
The Commission for Arts and Culture will host a
talk with Gail Simpson of Actual Size Artworks, the
artist team selected to create permanent public
artwork for the new Skyline Hills Branch Library.
The event will provide this community with a
unique and interactive opportunity to share their
knowledge about our neighborhoods and learn
more about the art for our new library. The event
will take place on December 4th from 6 p.m. to
7 p.m. at the existing Skyline Hills Branch Library,
located at 480 S. Meadowbrook Drive.
Infrastructure Committee: Sidewalks are coming!
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for Street Improvements
As Vice Chair of the Infrastructure Committee, I tirelessly advocate for infrastructure
improvements in my district especially for sidewalks that we desperately need in our
communities.
One of the goals of CDBG is to strengthen neighborhoods by investing in the City’s
critical public infrastructure needs and to support neighborhood safety and improved
livability. Sidewalks and traffic calming measures are critical public infrastructure to
improve the safety and livability of neighborhoods.
City staff reviewed their list of sidewalk requests received from the public and Council
offices. They focused on locations that are eligible for CDBG funds. Locations that
have high pedestrian activities received higher priority. For example, locations close
to schools, libraries, recreation center, parks, transit stations and other crucial public
facilities. Locations that have speeding issues and high traffic volumes also ranked
higher. Because the City policy is to spend the CDBG funds within eighteen months
after funding is allocated to the project, they also had to focus on projects that are
easy to design, construct and with minimal environmental issues. The new sidewalk
locations for the Fourth Council District are: Castana St from Groveland to Euclid Ave;
Federal Blvd from 47th to 48th; San Jacinto Dr from Groveland Dr to Imperial Ave.

Neighborhood Revitalization (Encanto): Over 100 volunteers spent their Saturday morning giving the Encanto
Recreation Center a much-needed “facelift” including: fresh paint, mulch refresh, weed removal, and other cleaning &
landscaping activities. Kudos to Union Bank, the Student Conservation Association (SCA), the Park & Recreation
Department staff, and the community. It takes all of us working together to keep our neighborhoods clean and safe.

Comité de Infraestructura. ¡Queremos banquetas, tendremos banquetas!
Subsidio para el Desarrollo Comunitario para Mejora de Infraestructura
Como Vice-Presidente del Comité de Infraestructura, trabaje arduamente para mejorar la
infraestructura de mi distrito, en especial para la construcción de nuevas banquetas. Una de las
metas de este subsidio es el desarrollo de las comunidades a través de la inversión en la
infraestructura necesaria. La construcción de banquetas sirve para incrementar la seguridad y
calidad de vida de nuestras comunidades.
Estos fondos tenían que ser gastados dentro de los próximos 18 meses después de la creación del
proyecto. La selección de los proyectos se baso en la inmediatez del impacto de los proyectos.
El equipo de trabajo de la Ciudad analizó la lista que cada oficina distrital envió. Para la selección, se
enfocaron en lugares que fueran elegibles para recibir financiamiento. Se le dio prioridad a las
ubicaciones que presentaban un alto número de peatones como escuelas, bibliotecas, centros
recreativos, parques y centrales de transporte. De igual forma, ubicaciones que contaran con un alto
volumen de transito fueron prioritarias. Los proyectos tenían que ser fácil de diseñar, construir y
causar el menor impacto ambiental. Las nuevas banquetas en nuestro Distrito estarán ubicadas en:
Castana Street de Groveland a Euclid Avenue, Federal Boulevard de la calle 47 a la calle 48, San
Jacinto Drive de Groveland a Imperial Avenue .
