F. 19 Establish a BRT system composed of frequent, fast transit service along major corridors <br /> and neighborhood feeder service that connects with the corridor service and with activity <br /> centers, if the system is shown to increase transit mode split along BRT corridors, if local <br /> governments demonstrate support, and if financing for the system is feasible. <br /> <br />F.20 Implement traffic management strategies and other actions, where appropriate and <br /> practical, 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 <br /> significantly 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 />F.23 Require bikeways along new and reconstructed arterial and major collector streets. <br /> <br />F.24 Require bikeways to connect new development with nearby neighborhood activity <br /> centers 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 />Transportation System Improvements: Pedestrian <br /> <br />Findings <br /> <br /> III-F-10 <br /> <br /> <br />
