加州大学洛杉矶分校获101.4万美元设计拨款：与Metro合作推进校园雨水收集工程
加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县洛杉矶市西木区（Westwood）的加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）10月28日宣布，洛杉矶县监事会10月20日批准拨款101.4万美元，用于设计一项由UCLA与洛杉矶县都会交通局（Metro）合作的雨水收集工程，把校园周边的人行道与街角改造成可蓄水、可过滤的原生植物花园与透水地面。
这笔拨款来自洛杉矶县「安全清洁水计划」（Safe Clean Water Program）2026至27财年1.529亿美元的年度分配。该计划源于2018年通过的W提案，每年筹集约2.8亿美元用于全县雨水管理，自实施以来已投入约19亿美元。
工程范围包括西木广场（Westwood Plaza）与勒孔特大道（Le Conte Avenue）交界的校园门户街角，以及校园内多处点位：规划最多设置18口干井与3套垃圾拦截系统，被雨水冲刷的污染物将在流入海洋前被截留过滤。沿途种植带将保护约900英尺既有自行车道。
加州交通厅（Caltrans）已提出承担设计与施工费用的25%。项目设计期约一年，如进展顺利，施工最早可于2028年10月开始。工程地点靠近在建的Metro D线西木/加州大学洛杉矶分校站，该站位于西木大道与威尔希尔大道一带，预计2027年秋季随D线延伸段开通。
县监事霍瓦特（Lindsey P. Horvath）与洛杉矶市议员凯蒂·雅罗斯拉夫斯基（Katy Yaroslavsky）在声明中表示，这项投资把防洪、净水与校园门户改造结合在一起，惠及学生与周边社区。
Los Angeles, California: UCLA Receives $1.014 Million to Design Stormwater Capture Project With Metro
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California, announced on October 28 that the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved $1.014 million on October 20 to design a stormwater-capture project that UCLA will build with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), turning campus-edge sidewalks and street corners into native gardens and permeable surfaces that store and filter runoff.
The grant comes from the county Safe Clean Water Program's $152.9 million allocation for fiscal year 2026-27. The program, created by Measure W in 2018, raises about $280 million a year for stormwater management countywide and has funded $1.9 billion since passage.
The project covers the campus gateway corners at Westwood Plaza and Le Conte Avenue and sites across campus, with up to 18 drywells and three trash-capture systems to keep pollutants out of the ocean. Planted medians will protect about 900 feet of existing bike lanes.
Caltrans has offered to cover 25 percent of design and construction costs. Design is expected to take about a year, and construction could begin as early as October 2028. The site sits near Metro's Westwood/UCLA D Line station at Westwood and Wilshire boulevards, scheduled to open in fall 2027.
Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath and Los Angeles Councilwoman Katy Yaroslavsky said in statements that the investment combines flood control, cleaner water and a better campus gateway for students and the surrounding community.
