<br />F-20.Implement traffic management strategies and other actions, where appropriate and practical, <br />that give priority to transit and other high occupancy vehicles. <br /> <br />F-21. Expand the Park-and-Ride system within the metropolitan area and nearby communities. <br /> <br />Transportation System Improvements: Bicycle <br /> <br />Findings <br /> <br />32. In 1995, there were 126 miles of bikeways in the metropolitan area. Implementation of <br />proposed TransPlan projects would approximately double the lane miles for bicycles. <br /> <br />33. Over the past 20 years, Eugene and Springfield have built an extensive bikeway system. <br />The focus over the next 20 years is on the construction of "Priority Bikeway Projects" <br />which consist of those projects that are along an essential core route on which the overall <br />system depends, fill in a critical gap in the existing bicycle system, or overcome a barrier <br />where no other nearby existing or programmed bikeway alternatives exist, or significantly <br />improve bicycle users safety in a given corridor. <br /> <br />34. OAR 660-012-0045 (3) requires local governments to adopt land use regulations to <br />require bikeways along new and reconstructed arterial and major collector streets and to <br />connect new development with nearby neighborhood activity centers and major <br />destinations. <br /> <br />Policies <br /> <br />F-22. Construct and improve the region's bikeway system and provide bicycle system support <br />facilities for both new development and redevelopment/expansion. <br /> <br />, . <br /> <br />F-23. Require bikeways along new and reconstructed arterial and major collector streets. <br /> <br />F-24. Require bikeways to connect new developplent with nearby neighborhood activity centers <br />and major destinations. <br /> <br />F-25. Give funding priority (ideally within the first 3 to 5 years after adoption of TransPlan, <br />subject to available funding) to stand-alone bikeway projects that are included in the <br />definition of "Priority Bikeway Miles" and that increase the use of alternative modes. <br /> <br />Exhibit A <br />Metro Plan Text Amendments <br /> <br />10 <br />
