Attachment 2 - Excerpt from MPC presentation on Regional Congestion Overview Regional Congestion Overview For analysis purposes, the state highway system is defined by 10 separate major corridors in the Central Lane MPO region: 1. 1-5 - running from the North TMA boundary to the South TMA boundary; 2. 1-105/Hwy 126E - running east-west from the Washington/Jefferson Bridge in Eugene to Main Street in Springfield; 3. Beltline - running from mp 3.1 (intersection with West 11th) to 1-5. 4. Highway 99W (State Highway 091)- running from the North TMA Boundary to the Washington/Jefferson Bridge; 5. 6th-7th/Broadway/Franklin - running from the Washington/Jefferson Bridge to the Springfield Bridges; 6. Main Street - running from Mill Street in Springfield to the East TMA Boundary; 7. McVay Highway - running between 1-5 and Franklin; 8. Springfield-Creswell Highway - running from the Southern boundary of TMA to 42nd St & Jasper Rd, Springfield; 9. Pioneer Parkway - running from Main Street to OR 126E; 10. OR 126W - running from the intersection of W.11 th at mp 3.1 of Beltline Hwy to West TMA boundary. Attachment A provides a congestion status summary for each of the 10 state corridors within the MPO. For each corridor, the mobility dependence is described and the existing mobility standard is stated. Summaries of both the 2002 and 2025 conditions are provided noting where standards are exceeded on a sub-corridor level. The Corridor summaries also include identification of where shorter segments of sub-corridors exceed standards. Attachment B is a map showing congestion levels for corridor segments for 2002. A similar map is provided as Attachment C showing congestion levels for 2025. As can be seen in these maps, at least one segment of each of the 10 state corridors exceeds the current mobility standards for 2002, with several additional segments exceeding the mobility standards in 2025. Specifically, the results from the base year analysis indicate that the following major segments exceed the mobility standard in 2002: (1) Beltline Highway (expressway classification) from River Road to Oelta Highway - eastbound in the AM, both eastbound and westbound in the PM (2) 1-105/0R126E - westbound between Pioneer Parkway and Coburg Rd in the AM, and eastbound between 1-5 and Mohawk Blvd in the PM (3) Hwy 99 - northbound between Garfield St and just north of Roosevelt Blvd in the PM (4) 1-5 - southbound between 30th Ave and OR58 in the PM Page 7 of 18
