Transportation Overview The majority of projects in the Transportation section are derived from the Eugene Transportation System Plan adopted in 2013, and the 2035 Regional Transportation Plan, updated in 2011. Other plans and policies include: • Master Traffic Communications Plan; • Community Climate and Energy Action Plan; • Americans with Disabilities Transition Plan; • Pavement Management Program; • Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan; • Arterial -Collector Street Plan; • Neighborhood and local area refinement plans; and • Envision Eugene recommendations. Transportation capital projects fall into the following five categories: 1. Functional and Safety Improvements - This category includes proposed transportation improvements involving: • Neighborhood transportation livability projects; • ADA projects, such as accessible pedestrian signals and sidewalk access ramps; • Shared use paths rehabilitation; • Pedestrian crossing treatments; and • Traffic signals, streetlights, and intersection improvements. New Capital Facilities - This category includes new streets built by the City or by private developers and new shared -use paths. Funds for this category come from the System Development Capital Projects Fund (SDC's), Special Assessment Capital Projects Fund, and in some cases grants from other agencies (State, Federal, and County). 3. Preservation - These projects preserve the investment of existing improved transportation facilities where routine preventative maintenance activities are no longer cost-effective. These projects typically include overlays, slurry seals, and, in some cases, reconstruction of existing streets. These projects are funded through the local motor vehicle fuel tax, Transportation System Development Charge reimbursement fee, Federal Funds and General Obligation bonds. 4. Upgrades to City Standards - Projects that improve the existing substandard facilities to City Standards. Typically these are street improvements which include improving the road structure, curbs and gutters, sidewalks, and underground utilities on an as needed basis. The primary funds used for these projects are assessments, System Development Charges (SDC's), and the Transportation Capital Fund. Two upgrades to City Standards projects are included in the FY16-21 Capital Improvement Program: Bethel Drive, Hwy. 99 to Roosevelt, and County Farm Road.
