WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Rep. Pete Aguilar announced $2,560,000 for critical safety upgrades and infrastructure improvements to Little 3rd Street in San Bernardino. This funding will create sidewalks, upgrade roads and ensure the safety of young children and families in this community.

“As a father, the safety of young children in our community is always at the top of my mind,” said Rep. Aguilar. “That’s why I secured $2,560,000 to convert this dirt path into a sidewalk for kids in the area to safely walk to school every day. I look forward to working closely with our local elected officials to secure more funding for our region.”

“San Bernardino County is very grateful for this federal funding for Little Third Street,” said Supervisor Joe Baca, Jr., whose Fifth District includes Little Third Street. “This funding will pave roads and install sidewalks, making the neighborhood safer for pedestrians and greatly improving this unincorporated area of the County.”
