in areas without direct transit service. TSI Transit Policy #2 is designed to establish a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system com- posed of frequent, fast transit service along major corridors and neighborhood feeders that connect with the existing transit system. The revised TransPlan Appendix A includes a BRT map, which depicts the proposed BRT system as a set of linked, high-speed bus cor- ridors that would use Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area arterial streets to move pas- sengers rapidly. These buses may have dedicated travel lanes, may employ such tech- niques as signal priority, and will connect with bus feeder routes that serve adjacent neighborhoods. The proposed BR T system will be phased in over 20 years. (d) A bicycle and pedestrian plan for a network of bicycle and pedestrian routes throughout the planning area. The network and list of facility improvements shall be consistent with the requirements of ORS 366.514. The revised TransPlan serves as the bicycle plan for the City of Eugene urban area. The Springfield Bicycle Plan (1998) serves as the bicycle master plan for the City of Spring- field urban area. Any amendment to that plan must be consistent with TransPlan. Lane County coordinates bicycle improvements with Eugene and Springfield when construct- ing bicycle and pedes~ian facilities within the urban transition area. All bikeway and bi- cycle system improvements are designed to me~t the standards specified in the Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan (1995). TransPlan,1\ppendix A includes a map of the bike- way system, which illustrates both the existiilgbikeway system and the general location of planned bikeways. The range of bikeway projects includes striped lanes, bike routes and multi-use paths. Table 3a of Chapter 3 outlines bicycle capital improvement projects included in the 20- Year Financially Constrained Plan. These projects include adding striped bike lanes to roadways or adding bicycle route signs along designated corridors, constructing bicycle lanes in conjunction with roadway projects, and adding new off-road facilities designated for bicycle and pedestrian use both in conjunction with roadway projects and independent of them. TransPlan also incorporates a pedestrian transportation plan, the policies of which aim to improve the quality of the pedestrian transportation system. TSI Pedestrian Policy # 1 is designed to integrate the pedestrian transportation environment with adjacent land uses to enhance the safety, comfort and convenience of walking by providing connections be- tween uses, improved pedestrian access to transit stops and stations, and enhanced pedes- trian amenities such as street crossings and lighting. Pedestrian policies also aim to pro- vide a continuous pedestrian network that allows reasonably direct routes between desti- nation points, and a system for providing sidewalks during roadway construction or re- construction, and the retrofitting of sidewalks with curb ramps and the infilling of miss- ing sidewalk sections.
