WASHINGTON – On Monday, Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez (D-CA) delivered $850,000 to the City of Pico Rivera in funding she secured in the Consolidated Appropriations Act.

The federal funding will help transform blighted back alleys and public parking lots along Whittier Boulevard into a welcoming, family-friendly network of neighborhood paseos that serve as vibrant outdoor dining areas in the heart of Pico Rivera.
