This $4,841,600 Formula Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration's Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) will fund the Quad City Trail project in California. The project includes the construction of a 4.5-mile north-south commuter and recreational trail adjacent to the Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo rail corridor. The trail spans through the cities of Mission Viejo, Laguna Niguel, Laguna Hills, and Lake Forest, providing active transportation enhancements and improving bicycle network connections and safety along the corridor. The project will connect the trail to the existing Oso Creek Trail and Aliso Creek Trail, benefitting users of the nearby Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo Metrolink station. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is the awardee responsible for implementing this infrastructure development project.
