Full summary

Councilmember Traci Park introduced a budget motion on May 21, 2026, asking that the Budget and Finance Committee's report on the Mayor's Proposed Budget for 2026-27 be amended to add $4 million for citywide alley paving. The funding would be added to the Capital and Tech Improvement Expenditure Program under the Physical Plant section of the budget. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Monica Rodriguez. The $4 million addition represents the entirety of the proposed change, with the motion directing that all other affected totals, subtotals, summaries, and schedules in the budget be adjusted to conform to the modification. This is a standard budget amendment motion that targets a specific line item in the capital infrastructure portion of the city's spending plan, rather than directing a department to study or report on the issue. Alley paving addresses deteriorating conditions in neighborhoods where alleys serve as secondary circulation routes for residents and businesses and often lag behind main streets in maintenance investment. By embedding the request in the annual budget process, the motion aims to secure a dedicated capital appropriation rather than relying on discretionary departmental funding. The motion was referred on the day of introduction to three committees: Budget and Finance, Public Works, and Transportation. No further committee action has been recorded. The file remains open and expires May 21, 2028, if no council action is taken.
