Landscape Median Fee

“Landscape Medians serve the residents and employees of Fontana by providing attractive roadway planters and tree-lined streets which are central to a community's character and help to maintain and increase property value throughout the City.”

“The DIF will provide the City with revenue to fund the acquisition, installation, and construction of necessary transportation facilities, which, in turn, will both preserve the quality of life in the City and protect the health, safety, and welfare of existing and future residents and employees.”

“Fund or partially fund the construction of landscape medians and other infrastructure projects within the City limits.”
