Applications for the 2015-2018 STIP Enhance program were due Nov. 27. <br /> <br />The Lane Area Commission on Transportation (LaneACT) will make recommendations to ODOT regarding prioritization of <br />STIP funds based on input from local agencies and public comment. The Lane ACT is collecting public comments regarding <br />STIP Enhance funding through Jan. 8. Comments can be e-mailed to Stacy Clauson at sclauson@lcog.org. The Lane ACT will <br />also hold a public hearing on the projects within Lane County at its meeting on Jan. 9. The meeting will be held from 5:30 to <br />7:30 p.m. in the McLane Room at ODOT, 644 A Street, Springfield. <br /> <br />The City of Eugene has applied for funding for four active transportation projects: <br /> <br />The Amazon Active Transportation Corridor helps to implement the City's Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan by <br />extending the popular Amazon Path further into south Eugene and making related investments that will enhance safety <br />and accessibility in the Hilyard and West Amazon corridors. This grant would fund widening the concrete sidewalk from <br />34th Avenue to Tugman Park, installing a two-way separated cycle track on West Amazon Drive from Hilyard to Snell, <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />January 3, 2013 <br />
