of capital improvements for roadways, including new arterial links or interchanges, added freeway lanes or major interchange improvements, arterial capacity improvements, new collectors, and improving existing roadways to urban standards. They also includes non- capital transportation system improvements, which provide planning and program actions related to the regional roadway system. These actions include access management tech- niques, neighborhood traffic calming techniques, and design considerations for all modes. Standards for the layout of local streets are included in the Eugene Local Street Plan (1996) and Springfield Conceptual Local Street Map (1997). The functional classification of roads in the revised TransPlan is consistent with the functional classification of roads in other relevant transportation plans. These functional classifications refer to the level of use on the road, the function and location of the road- way, the number of lanes and connection to o~er routes on the transportation system. A classification map is included in TransPlan, Appendix A. . The revised Bikeway Plan, discussed in Chapter 3 and illustrated on the Bikeway Map in TransPlan Appendix A, is designed to provide safe and convenient bike circulation along and adjacent to the region's roadways. The revised Bikeway Plan is predicated on the TSI Bicycle Policies detailed in Chapter 2. Those policies provide for constructing and improving the region's bikeway system and providing bicycle system support facilities; requiring bikeways along new and reconstructed arterial and major collector streets; and requiring bikeways to connect new development with nearby neighborhood activity cen- ters and major destinations. Pedestrian circulation along the region's roadways is addressed through TSI Pedestrian Policies # 1 through #3 and implementing measures. ' Those policies provide for a pedes- trian environment that is well integrated with adjacent land uses and is designed to en- hance the safety, comfort and convenience of walking; provide for a continuous pedes- trian network with reasonably direct travel routes between destination points; and encour- age construction of sidewalks along urban area arterial and collector roadways, except freeways. (c) Public transportation plan which: (A) Describes public transportation services for the transportation disad- vantaged and identifies service inadequacies; Revised TransPlan TSI Transit Policy #1 is designed to improve transit services and fa- cilities to increase the system's accessibility, attractiveness, and convenience for all users, including the transportation disadvantaged population. This policy supports the need for multi-modal accessibility, including adequate public transit access for people who are transportation disadvantaged, to employment, shopping, other commerce, medical care, housing and leisure. In addition, the Bus Rapid Transit (BR T) system and other transit improvements described in Chapter 3, Table 2, provide good access to public transporta- Exhibit C Findings in Support of the Adoption of TransPlan 19
