TransPlan are not subject to this provision because they are authorized by provisions of OAR 660-012-0065 other than (3)(d) to (g) and (0). However, projects 66 (Jasper Road Extension), 297 (Bloomberg Connector), and 486 (Greenhill Road, north airport bound- ary to Airport Road) do require an evaluation of travel time because, wholly or partially, they are realignments authorized by OAR 660-012-0065(3)(d). Project 66 includes a short realignment of Jasper Road (the edge of the Springfield UGB) to join the new Jasper Road Extension (wholly contained within the Springfield UGB). The current travel time for this 1000 foot segment is about 13 seconds. The realigned segment will be more than 1500 feet long; therefore travel time for this particular stretch of road will increase by several seconds. Project 297 will realign an existing segment of McVay Highway to form a new intersec- tion with 30th Avenue and Eldon Schafer Drive. The purpose of this project is to im- prove the operations of the I-5/3Oth Avenue interchange ramp, where a.m. peak hour traf- fic often backs onto the southbound freeway travel lanes. Under normal conditions travel time for the 1700 foot stretch of McVay Highway between Bloomberg Road and 30th Avenue is on the order of 20 seconds, however when classes are in session at Lane Community College congestion can lead to delays of a minute or more as vehicles must negotiate the intersection at 30th Avenue, weave across a lane of traffic, and turn left onto Eldon Schafer Drive. The new alignment will actually lengthen the segment between Bloomberg Road and 30th Avenue to about 2000 feet, theoretically increasing travel time by a second or two. However, the real effect of consolidating these two intersections will help bring the 30th Avenue interchange closer to the Interchange Access Management Area Spacing Standards for Approaches in the Oregon Highway Plan. It will also set the stage for future project 257, the eventual reconstruction of the I-5/30th Avenue inter- change~ Project 486 will realign part of Greenhill Road near the Eugene Airport. The segment of the road between Fiddler's Green Golf Course and Airport Road needs to be moved about 2000 feet east in order to correct an existing air safety problem at the east end of cross runway 3-21, and to prepare for the eventual construction of a new parallel runway east of Greenhill Road. The net effect will be to increase travel time for users of Greenhill Road by about 25 seconds. OAR 660-012-0040: Transportation Financing Program OAR 660-012-0040(1): For areas within an urban growth boundary containing a population greater than 2,500 persons, the TSP shall include a transportation financing program. The revised TransPlan Finance Policies in Chapter 2 identify and explain the fmancial policies that guide the development and allocation of funding for transportation services, facilities and projects.
