e Committee is looking at ways to involve the community in bicycling activi- ties. She suggested that the role of this committee may need to be expanded to take charge of the broader goal of alternative modes of transportation. Mr. Miller said that the city of Eugene does not yet have an integrated bicycle system and felt that the Bicycle Committee should focus its attention on improving and expanding the city's present inventory of bicycle routes. In summary, Mr. Miller said that it is the council's position that the Ferry Street Bridge Corridor Study should be used as a vehicle for discussions with LTD and other necessary entities in order to coordinate a shared vision for alternative modes of transportation. The council has requested that staff return with a list of possible ordinances which the City might engage in to encourage alternative modes of transportation in the community, and sugges- tions for greater effectiveness of the Bicycle Committee and the Metropolitan Policy Committee in the transportation arena. Mr. Gleason suggested that staff provide a very specific description of what a fully operating CATS system might look like for the next 20 years. At Mr. Green's request, he also suggested that a list of potential costs and sources of revenue be provided as a portion of this. Mr. Gleason pointed out the importance of matching local and Federal revenues for funding projects which include alternative modes of transportation.
