The application would advance implementation of the major project priorities contained in the Topeka Bikeways Master Plan's supplemental action plan (Topeka Fast-Track Bike Plan) recently approved by the Metropolitan Topeka Planning Organization (MTPO) policy board.

- Trail Connections – various neighborhoods connecting to the Shunga, Landon, and Soldier Creek Trails
- NW Tyler Street - a multi-use path on NW Tyler Street between Waddell Street and Lyman Road
