The project delivers a separated Class IV bikeway and Class II bike lanes with green striping, intersection improvements including signal modifications and video detection, bus turnouts, an ADA-accessible bus stop, landscaping, and closure of one sidewalk gap between Cantel Way and Thomas Drive on Elkhorn Boulevard from Watt Avenue to Don Julio Boulevard. The award also funds a non-infrastructure component implementing safe routes to schools and community education and encouragement programs.

Performance runs through September 8, 2029. Caltrans, operating as a state transportation authority and primary administrator of FHWA formula allocations in California, is the recipient and implementing agency for the award.
