The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) a Formula Grant of $11.76 million under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on September 2, 2025, for the design and construction of bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements across three interconnected street segments in California. The project encompasses approximately 2.5 miles of roadway along Willow Street (from LeLonog Street to Graham Avenue), Graham Avenue (from Willow Street to Sherman Street), and Goodyear/Keyes Street (from Sherman Street to 3rd Street). The scope of work includes installation of Class IV protected bike lanes via road diets, new sidewalk construction, curb extensions, enhanced crosswalks, pedestrian-scale lighting, drainage improvements, landscaping, and transit enhancements, along with the reconfiguration of complex intersections to improve safety for all users.

The project is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2027, and reflects the FHWA's current emphasis on multimodal transportation network development and pedestrian and bicycle facility improvements as authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. As a state-administered Federal-aid highway program, this award leverages formula-based allocation mechanisms administered by Caltrans through established transportation planning processes, supporting the agency's mission to improve California's transportation infrastructure with federal financial assistance.
