This project was a collaboration between the City’s Economic Development and Public Works departments to renovate two unlit alleys in Downtown Gilroy. Both corridors connect to the Gilroy CalTrain station, but are unsafe for pedestrians at night due to lack of lighting and illegal dumping. The grant will fund new lighting, paving, benches, dumpster enclosures, as well as public clean-up events and campaigns.
