(See Figure 2) the updated TransPlan is adopted. At the same time, the ACSP should also be consistent with the pro- posed policy direction of the updated TransPlan. As indicated by the goals and objectives discussed earlier, the ACSP focuses on developing a transpor- tation system that balances mobility and access needs, provides for integration of land use and transportation systems, and provides for choices in modes of travel. Those goals and objectives are consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of both the current and updated versions of TransPlan. The ACSP document contributes to the ongoing process of improving Eugene's transportation system. It is considered a refinement of TransPlan and contains a street classification map and design standards for arterial and collector streets that will guide the imple- ! mentation of policies and projects in TransPlan. !
