MovingAhead 2018 Outreach Summary 47 Investment Options: • Highway 99 is less dense in terms of housing but is low income (many living in hotels), no employment density – need to travel to get to jobs (most important for higher level of investment). Needs multi-modal improvements the most • Coburg needs more transit access because of housing concentration (Market District Commons on 5th Street) (second most important for higher level of investment) • River Road has concentrated housing and proposed new transit station – needs sidewalks for people using strollers (second most important for higher level of investment due to higher level of ridership, existing transitional housing and current lack of sidewalks) • MLK has a new housing development (Alton Park and Willamette Gardens) • Highway 99 needs service to Winco • Highway 99 and Railroad – it’s been complicated to build affordable housing projects in this area, but there are many voucher holders in this area. Need to make shopping and employment accessible to those in this area • 30th to LCC – is scary now; worried about increased traffic. Need safer crossings. LCC is growing (free tuition) Other Comments: • Consider a shopping cart sharing program for transit (many people save up money to take a cab/uber to get groceries because they can’t carry it all on the bus) • Walkable, safe, accessible environments are important (important criteria for HUD funding for affordable housing projects) • Bascom Housing site is a good location for future outreach, as is Fox Hollow. • Housing Developments in west Eugene (Village Oaks and Redwood Park) are using EmX – might be a good opportunity for communications (what’s working and what’s not) • Consider outreach to Trillium CAC • Consider engaging the Resident Advisory Board with Homes for Good (Wakan is the contact) February 19, 2019, Work Session - Item 1
