(BCN) -- The San Rafael City Council on Monday approved up to $500,000 to help purchase a 1.65-acre property at 620 Canal St., officials said.
The purchase advances plans for a public park and a future pedestrian and bicycle bridge connecting the Canal neighborhood to Montecito Plaza and San Rafael High School.
The funding supports a multi-agency effort led by the Trust for Public Land to acquire the site, with an additional $1.35 million proposed from Marin County's Measure A funds.
The Trust is seeking private donations to close the remaining funding gap, City officials said.

The county's grant proposal is scheduled for consideration by the Board of Supervisors later this summer.
If approved, the site would be permanently designated as public parkland.
"This project represents a unique opportunity to advance a long-standing community vision of expanding open space and improving connectivity in the Canal neighborhood," Mayor Kate Colin said in a statement.
