It is also an important first step in securing federal funding for local projects. <br />An effective analysis answers critical project <br />questions about each investment option, such as: <br />• What are the current and anticipated problems <br />and opportunities that need to be addressed? <br />• What are the underlying causes of the <br />problems? <br />• What changes are needed to achieve future <br />goals? <br />• What are options for addressing the problems? <br />• What are the costs, impacts, and benefits of <br />each potential solution? <br />• How can impacts be avoided or minimized? <br />The purpose of this alternatives analysis is to: <br />• Help select the best investments for each <br />corridor that support local plans; <br />• Prioritize which corridor investments should <br />occur first; and <br />• Identify realistic funding options. <br />Locally, the City of Eugene and Lane Transit District <br />have a commitment to a public engagement <br />process that supports informed decision-making <br />that considers effects on people, our planet, <br />and economic prosperity (the triple-bottom-line). <br />Collectively, these efforts are a comprehensive <br />approach to decision-making that support our <br />community now and as we grow into the future. <br />Table of Contents | 1September 19, 2018, Work Session - Item 1
