Adjacent to shoreline blvd, from wright AVE to villa ST reconstruct a pathway connection to connect neighborhoods and the transit center and downtown

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) a Formula Grant of $6.28 million under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on September 2, 2025. The award funds the reconstruction of an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant bicycle and pedestrian pathway adjacent to Shoreline Boulevard between Wright Avenue and Villa Street. Deliverables include removal of the existing pathway and installation of new infrastructure encompassing the bicycle and pedestrian pathway, curb and gutter systems, curb ramps, stairs, pathway lighting, landscaping, irrigation, storm drainage facilities, and a retaining wall. The project is designed to enhance neighborhood connectivity by linking residential areas, the local transit center, and downtown.

This infrastructure investment aligns with the Highway Planning and Construction program's emphasis on multimodal transportation network development and pedestrian facility improvements. The project carries an estimated completion date of December 31, 2028, with work performed in California under the state DOT's administration and FHWA oversight in accordance with established stewardship and oversight agreements.
