Slated for improvements are: Boblett Street from Mitchell to Peace Portal Drive. Bayview Avenue from Clyde to Peace Portal Drive, Fourth Street from A to D Streets, Ninth Street from G to H Streets, B Street from Second to Fifth streets, E Street from Sixth to 12th Street, Cedar Street between Peace Portal and Mitchell, H Street between Ludwick and Terrace, Clark Street between Peace Portal and Third Street, Bell Road between Hughes and Peace Portal, Semiahmoo Parkway near the North Hill, the boardwalk pedestrian rail overpass from H Street to Milhollin, H Street from Peace Portal to Harrison, Boblett Street from SR 543 to west of Grant Street, and the Marine Drive gateway and rail crossing.

A section of I-5 near exit 274 will also receive an environmental review and design.

Local agencies are required by a Whatcom County resolution to adopt a transportation improvement plan every six years for incorporation at a state-wide level.
