The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $1,154,441.50 to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) on July 3, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This formula grant funds a comprehensive multimodal transportation improvement project spanning 4.5 miles across the Mid-City, Fairfax, and Hollywood areas of Los Angeles. The project delivers traffic calming treatments and low-stress bicycle infrastructure connections, including protected bicycle lanes along Rosewood Avenue (east-west corridor from La Cienega Boulevard to La Brea Avenue), Alta Vista Boulevard, Formosa Avenue, and Orange Drive. Additional improvements include bicycle pathway connections that link these corridors to transit nodes, specifically connecting to the Metro Hollywood and Highland Red Line Station and the future La Brea Metro Purple Line Station.

This award supports sustainable transportation infrastructure consistent with the Highway Planning and Construction program's focus on multimodal network improvements and active transportation development. The project prioritizes pedestrian and bicycle facility enhancements that promote neighborhood connectivity while incorporating traffic calming measures designed to reduce vehicle speeds and improve safety. As a formula grant administered through California's state DOT, the funding reflects the Federal-aid Highway Program's emphasis on state-selected projects that meet planning, design, and environmental requirements aligned with regional transportation priorities.
