The River Road Corridor begins at the Eugene <br />Station and overlaps with EmX West, travels through <br />downtown and the Whiteaker Neighborhood, and then <br />north to the Santa Clara Community Transit Center <br />(southeast of the intersection of Hunsaker Lane and River Road). <br />Overview <br />Of the two build alternatives, the EmX Alternative <br />offers the greatest benefit to bicycle and pedestrian <br />connectivity and safety, as well as the most improved <br />transit service frequency because of repurposed <br />travel lanes to Business Access and Transit (BAT) <br />lanes. The Enhanced Corridor Alternative also <br />provides transit benefits and improvement to bicycle <br />and pedestrian facilities, but to a lesser extent than <br />the EmX Alternative, and would result in a smaller <br />increase in transit ridership. <br />The No-Build Alternative avoids impacts (including <br />property acquisitions, off-street parking impacts, <br />and potential tree removal) and costs, but does not <br />provide the same level of benefits compared to the <br />Enhanced Corridor and EmX Alternatives. <br />What We Heard <br />• Dedicated transit and cycling lanes are <br />needed <br />• Reduce the speed limit on River Road <br />• Beltline interchange is a particular area of concern <br />• Consider safety of all road users in design for <br />River Road <br />• Avoid tree removal with any transit option <br />• EmX option 2 [Business Access and Transit Lanes] <br />is preferred because of turn lane in the middle <br />• There are bus stops on both sides of River Road <br />near Briarcliff but no crosswalks to get across; a <br />crosswalk is critical here <br />Addressing Community Concerns <br />The build alternatives would increase transit <br />frequency while providing new investments in <br />bicycle and pedestrian connectivity and safety. Both <br />build alternatives aimed to work within the existing <br />right of way where feasible, to preserve trees along <br />the corridor as much as possible. <br />River Road <br />5 <br />MILESRiver Road Corridor River Road Corridor: Comparison of AlternativesRiver Road Corridor <br />Enhanced Corridor Alternative <br />105 <br />W <br />I <br />L <br />L <br />A <br />M <br />E <br />T <br />T <br />E <br /> <br />R <br />I <br />V <br />E <br />R <br />RANDY PAPE BELTLINE <br />R <br />I <br />V <br />E <br />R <br /> <br />R <br />D <br />IRVING RD HUNSAKER <br />N.
