<br /> February 19, 2019, Work Session – Item 1 <br /> <br />investments for people walking, biking, using mobility devices, and using transit. The decision by Eugene City Council and LTD Board of Directors will select a preferred package of transportation investments (e.g., EmX, Enhanced Corridor, or No-build alternatives) to be completed within 10 years. 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 receivee 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 community priorities and enable the City and LTD to make smaller, strategic investments such as safer pedestrian crossings within the larger corridor visions. This type of incremental implementation allows investments today that address the community’s needs without precluding the ability to later construct a larger project. <br />PREVIOUS COUNCIL DIRECTION 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 the Regional Transportation Plan. Additionally, the project structure has embraced a triple bottom line approach. This approach 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. October 12, 2015, Meeting Move to direct the City Manager to advance the following MovingAhead corridors for further study to evaluate an EmX alternative, an Enhanced Corridor alternative and a no-build alternative during the Level 2 alternative analysis: • Highway 99 Corridor • River Road Corridor • Coburg Road Corridor • 30th Avenue-Lane Community College Corridor And, direct the City Manager to advance the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard Corridor as an Enhanced Corridor as part of the Level 2 alternative analysis. (Motion Passed) Lane Transit District Board unanimously passed a similar motion. April 25, 2016, Work Session Moved to recommend action to further study the following MovingAhead corridor alternatives for evaluation of an alternative for the Alternative Analysis: • Highway 99 Corridor • River Road/30th Avenue/Lane Community College Corridor • Coburg Road Corridor
