Here's some info regarding this funding that was included in an email from Healthy Heart Program Coalitions ... only the local regional stuff (includes NYC) is included and you can't miss the "highlighted" info .... the Nicolls Road shoulder is where I was hit in 1998... Ouch!!

"The funds are made available to the State through the Federal Highway Administration and are administered by the State Department of Transportation. The program provides up to 80 percent of the cost of each project, with the remaining share coming from the project sponsor. The funds are dedicated for strategic investments in transportation alternatives and with a local sponsor match of more than $33.6 million, support a total investment of nearly $103.7 million.
