BKF is honored to have assisted the City of Antioch in securing $17.5M in funding for the L Street Bikeway project. The City initially reached out to BKF to write OBAG III, which would modify L Street, the main gateway into the City from State Route 4, with Complete Street improvements that include bike lanes, pedestrian facilities, traffic signal, and ADA improvements. During the process of writing the OBAG III application, BKF’s Grants Manager was in constant contact with the internal staff at Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) and it was determined that a different grant was better suited for this project. The team pivoted and the City ended up being awarded $17.5M instead of the original ask of $13.5M. It is through these relationships that our Grants & Funding Team secures funding for our clients and their future success.
