Ideas being considered <br />through MovingAhead include potential changes to both EmX <br />and regular buses, and improvements to sidewalks and <br />bikeways that could make it easier to get around the <br />community. <br /> <br />At the open house people can review the alternatives for <br />changes to the corridors along Highway 99, River Road, <br />Coburg Road, 30 Avenue to Lane Community College, and <br />th <br />Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. <br /> <br />The MovingAhead Alternatives Review Open House will be held Monday, Mar. 7, from 5 – 7 p.m., at the Eugene Public <br />Library, 100 West 10 Avenue. Accessibility arrangements, interpreter, and translation services can be made for all <br />th <br />MovingAhead events with 48 hours’ notice. For more information, call 541-682-6100 (voice) or 7-1-1 (TTY). <br /> <br />For those who can’t attend the open house, go to www.movingahead.org to review project materials and provide input. <br />The online review will be accepted from Mar. 4 - 18. <br /> <br />After confirming the range of alternatives, the MovingAhead team will conduct a more detailed study of the costs, <br />benefits, and impacts of each alternative.
