Thanks for these links, they are super informative! The split of the project with only ~10% of the project coming from state money, with federal money making up ~90% of the $15M, is quite interesting. It's always fascinating how expensive car infrastructure is in comparison to, say, bike infrastructure. Additionally, it's interesting how there's approximately zero public process for these very expensive car infrastructure process, but a mere bike lane will ensure years of public input, each meeting a chance to veto the project but without any meetings that would allow the bike to definitively be built without further meetings.

Caltrans publishes a guide detailing how and when public input is consulted. https://dot.ca.gov/-/media/dot-media/programs/transportation-planning/documents/f0009283-ppp-final-v1-0-041018-a11y.pdf https://dot.ca.gov/-/media/dot-media/programs/transportation... I encourage using the information within to contribute to local and regional planning processes. Note, however, that this does not address the environmental impact lawsuits often used by California drivers to obstruct bicycle infrastructure.
