The Federal Highway Administration awarded California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) a Formula Grant of $448,462.41 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on May 5, 2025. This award funds comprehensive mobility and pedestrian access improvements along transportation corridors in the El Sereno neighborhood of Los Angeles, specifically on Alhambra Avenue, Mariana Avenue, Huntington Drive, and Beatie Place between specified intersections.

The project delivers infrastructure enhancements designed to increase connectivity, transit ridership, and accessibility to hillside communities. Deliverables include reconstructed sidewalks, curb extensions, accessible ramps, pedestrian refuge islands, high-visibility crosswalks, traffic signal timing improvements, street trees, pedestrian lighting, transit furniture, wayfinding signage, and bicycle racks with repair stations. These multimodal transportation improvements reflect the Highway Planning and Construction program's emphasis on pedestrian and bicycle facility enhancements while supporting sustainable transportation and community connectivity objectives.
