The Sacramento Chapter of the American Public Works Association (APWA) selected Folsom's Oak Parkway Trail Undercrossing as the 2020 Project of the Year in the Parks & Trails category. The annual APWA awards program recognizes public works projects that demonstrate overall excellence in project administration, design, sustainability, community relations, and construction.

The city opened the Oak Parkway Trail Undercrossing for public use in fall of 2019. It provides a seamless and safe route for trail users to transition between two of the city's major trailways ' the Oak Parkway and the Johnny Cash trails. It provides cyclists and pedestrians traffic-free access to Folsom's rich Historic District and the regional American River Parkway corridor from the southern parts of the city. The project also included improvements along E. Natoma Street ' traffic barriers, buffered Class II bike lanes, and wide sidewalks on both sides of the street ' which contribute to motorist, pedestrian, and cyclist safety.
