Several bicycle facilities, including shared use paths and protected bike lanes, are included. The Front and Sunset intersection improvement project (TR12) aims to increase efficiency and safety, with ongoing evaluation for potential pedestrian scramble implementation. The TIP's adoption is crucial for securing state and federal grants.
