Vision Statement on Transportation: "Alternative modes of transportation (walking, bicycling, carpooling, and mass transit) will be encouraged. Congested areas will receive preference for street improvements." Program consistency with Policies. This vision statement synthesizes growth management policies 10, 11, 12 and 13. The adoption of the Eugene Local Street Plan and Eugene Arterial and Collector Street Plan provide the foundation for the construction and reconstruction of streets that will accommodate all modes of transportation. All of the mixed use development plans adopted to date include proposals for improvements to specific streets (like Garden Way, Royal Avenue and downtown's "Great Streets") that encourage the use of alternative modes of transportation. Vision Statement on Public Facilities and Infrastructure: "Streets, sidewalks, sewers, and public services will be paid for by those using them.

Program consistency with Policies.

Vision Statement on Environmental Quality: "The quality of Eugene's air, water and natural habitat will be protected and enhanced." Program consistency with Policies. This vision statement synthesizes growth management policy 17. This policy was fully implemented in the Royal Avenue Specific Plan that recommends the construction of multi-use drainage channels that protect existing habitat in the area. The drainage concept for the area, if implemented, will provide for improved water quality. For all areas in which mixed use plans have been completed, the physical layout of the area consistent 11
