The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) a formula grant of $3.34 million under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on September 2, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2027. This award funds bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements across three street segments in California: Willow Street (from LeLoṅg Street to Graham Avenue), Graham Avenue (from Willow Street to Sherman Street), and Goodyear/Keyes Street (from Sherman Street to 3rd Street). The project will construct Class IV protected bike lanes, install sidewalks, curb extensions, and enhanced crosswalks, while also implementing pedestrian-scale lighting, catch basins, landscaping improvements, and transit enhancements.

The award also includes reconfiguration of complex intersections to improve overall multimodal transportation connectivity and safety. These improvements align with the Highway Planning and Construction program's emphasis on comprehensive infrastructure development, including pedestrian and bicycle facilities as eligible activities under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Upon completion, the project will provide enhanced mobility and safety for both cyclists and pedestrians through modern design standards and infrastructure integration.
