The Great Streets grant program, which is aimed at improving the walkability of city streets, has been increased to $2 million for its second year, up from the $180,000 offered the previous year, Mayor Eric Garcetti announced last week.
Grants were originally available only to projects for select streets around the city, but are now being offered to any eligible projects on any street. Applicants can apply for grants of up to $13,000 each.
Applications are due Nov. 20 at http://www.LAGreatStreets.org/2016- challenge .
