OPERATIONAL PROJECTS These projects are typically related to modifications to intersections that are lower in cost than a typical roadway project and are ones that generally do not require right-of-way acquisition. The operational projects generally include: new traffic signals, adding accessible pedestrian signals at intersections, and upgrading the existing traffic signal communications infrastructure to increase the capacity and overall efficiency of the transportation system. The funding of operational projects is included within the TSDC. This is reflected in the tables in Appendix A. UPON -DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS As properties develop or redevelop, a number of projects will be completed to serve new development. The timing of these projects is uncertain and they are unlikely to be advanced by the City in the absence of specific private development activities. Typically, these projects address only localized transportation needs associated with newly developing or redeveloping areas. The list of projects to be completed upon development reflects the City's current understanding of likely priorities in these areas. At the time that development or land use applications are submitted, additional or different provisions may be required as conditions of approval based on the specifics of the actual development application and the applicable land use regulations. The projects in this category may also be funded through a variety of sources, such as urban renewal, private funds, TSDCs, or proportionate sharing (based on the level of anticipated impact of a specific development). These projects are provided in the tables in Appendix A and shown on the maps in Appendix B. PROJECTS BEYOND 20 YEARS Projects that will be implemented after 20 years are still important to consider because they could be needed to address future transportation issues, or are simply not able to be funded within the 20 year planning horizon of the TSP. Inclusion of projects in the Beyond 20 Years category provides the City flexibility to re-evaluate priorities and to pursue a variety of funding opportunities that may arise over the life of the TSP. The City has not identified cost estimates for these long term projects and they are not included in the TSDC. PROJECT COSTS Costs for each of the TSDC-eligible projects are shown in Appendix A. These costs were included in the TSP and reflect order -of -magnitude or planning -level estimates of right-of-way, design engineering and construction, and they generally include a 30 percent contingency. All costs are rounded and provided in 2014 dollars. The City will annually adjust the TSDC-eligible project costs using a Construction Cost Index to derive the TSDC trip rate INCENTIVES FOR COMPACT DEVELOPMENT As part of the City's strategies to promote compact development and the goals of Envision Eugene, certain types of compact development may qualify for a reduction to their calculated TSDC. Some of these reductions are available only within the specific geographic areas generally displayed in the ''Incentive Area Map'' in Appendix B.
