<br /> September 19, 2018, Work Session – Item 1 <br />The selected package will be advanced to the next MovingAhead project phase, which will include seeking design and construction funding, preparing final NEPA environmental reviews, and initiating the Federal Transit Administration project development process for qualifying projects. This future phase will also include design refinements, which will be based on feedback we receive during the public review period this year and subsequent outreach to stakekholders along the corridors where projects are advanced. The selected package will include designs that reflect our community priorities and enable the City and LTD to make smaller strategic investments such as safer pedestrian crossings with islands and signals within the larger corridor visions. This type of incremental implementation allows us to make investments today that address our community’s needs without precluding our ability to later construct a larger project. <br />RELATED CITY POLICIES The MovingAhead project is in alignment and consistent with policy direction contained in Envision Eugene, the Eugene 2035 Transportation System Plan, Eugene’s Climate Recovery Ordinance, LTD’s Long-Range Transit Plan, and our Regional Transportation Plan. Additionally, the project structure has embraced a ‘triple bottom line’ approach. It is part of the NEPA-required technical analysis. It is further reinforced in the composition of the Sounding Board and the evaluation criteria used to analyze each corridor alternative. <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS This is an informational item.
