加州大学洛杉矶分校雨水项目获101.4万美元设计拨款：洛杉矶县监事会批准，校园入口将建原生花园与透水路面
加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）10月28日宣布，位于加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县洛杉矶市的该校一项雨水收集项目向前推进：洛杉矶县监事会10月20日批准101.4万美元，用于该项目的设计工作；项目由 UCLA 与洛杉矶县大都会交通局（Metro）联合推进，目标是增加全县供水、减少内涝并缓解局部热岛效应。
UCLA 介绍，变化最大的区域是校园入口：西木广场（Westwood Plaza）与勒孔特大道（Le Conte Avenue）交口的东北、西北两角，草坪将改建为原生植物花园，宽阔的铺装路面将改为透水表面，以吸收更多雨水、减少径流。项目还包括在校园东西两侧增建最多18口旱井（地下集水系统）和3套垃圾拦截系统，对校园雨水进行预处理；入口处将新植遮荫树，900英尺现有自行车道将由绿化隔离带保护。
这笔拨款来自洛杉矶县「安全清洁水计划」2026至2027年度1.529亿美元拨款，资金源于2018年通过的 W 号提案雨水管理税，该税每年为全县筹集约2.8亿美元。县监事林赛·霍瓦特（Lindsey P. Horvath）说：「这笔拨款将打造一个集雨水收集、水质改善与主动交通于一体的多效益项目。」加州交通局（Caltrans）还提出承担项目设计与建设费用的25%。
UCLA 表示，设计阶段预计历时一年，施工最早于2028年10月开始；项目协作方还包括洛杉矶市、LAWaterkeeper 与加州交通局，Metro 曾为项目举办研讨会并提供技术与拨款申请支持。
UCLA Stormwater Project Wins $1.014 Million Design Grant Approved by Los Angeles County Supervisors on October 20
UCLA announced on October 28 that a stormwater capture project at its campus in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California, moved a step forward on October 20, when the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved $1.014 million to design the project. The joint effort between UCLA and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) is expected to increase the county's water supply, reduce flooding and reduce the local heat-island effect.
The biggest changes would be at the campus gateway, where the northeast and northwest corners of Westwood Plaza and Le Conte Avenue would transform from grassy lawns into native gardens, and from wide pavements into permeable surfaces that absorb more water and reduce runoff. The wider proposal includes up to 18 drywells, underground water-collection systems, on the east and west sides of campus, and three trash-capture systems to pre-treat campus stormwater. New shade trees will be planted at the gateway, and planted medians would protect 900 feet of existing bike lanes on Westwood Plaza.
The grant is part of the county's $152.9 million Safe Clean Water Program allotment for 2026-27, funded by Measure W, a stormwater management tax passed in 2018 that raises about $280 million annually for county projects to capture, clean and reuse runoff. "This grant will create a multi-benefit stormwater capture, water quality, and active transportation project," said County Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has also offered to contribute 25 percent of the cost of designing and building the project.
UCLA said the design phase is scheduled to take one year, with construction proposed to begin as soon as October 2028. A collaborative group including UCLA, Metro, the City of Los Angeles, LAWaterkeeper and Caltrans identified the project and helped push it forward, and Metro hosted workshops and provided technical and grant-writing support.
