The Coburg Road Corridor begins at the Eugene Station <br />and continues to Coburg Road using the Ferry Street Bridge. <br />The corridor continues north on Coburg Road to Crescent <br />Avenue, east on Crescent Avenue, south on Shadow View <br />Drive, east on Chad Drive to Old Coburg Road, and south on N. Game Farm Road <br />and Gateway Street to the existing Gateway Station at the Gateway Mall. Although <br />service extends from N. Game Farm Road to the Gateway Station, capital investments <br />proposed as part of the MovingAhead project would terminate at Interstate 5 (I-5). <br />Overview <br />Although the two build alternatives are rated more <br />favorably than the No-Build Alternative, the EmX <br />Alternative in this corridor has the highest capital <br />cost of all the corridor alternatives considered and <br />would require the most property acquisition. The <br />Enhanced Corridor Alternative has a lower cost, less <br />impact, and an equivalent improvement in transit <br />travel time than the EmX Alternative, but has lower <br />projected ridership. <br />The No-Build Alternative avoids cost and impacts <br />(including property acquisitions, o -street and on- <br />street parking impacts, and potential tree removal). <br />What We Heard <br />• The VA clinic and all the new development at <br />Crescent and further north have limited bus <br />service and bikeway options. <br />• Auto access to businesses must be maintained <br />• Coburg is scary with fast moving tra c <br />• Bicycle and pedestrian crossings are di cult <br />• Bicycling facilities separated from tra c are <br />important <br />• The corridor is important for autos, given the <br />nature of development and connection to <br />freeways <br />Addressing Community Concerns <br />The build alternatives provide investments in <br />bicycle and pedestrian connectivity and safety, as <br />well as improved transit service and connections <br />to areas north of Beltline. Additionally, questions <br />came up about how business impacts would be <br />minimized. Both build options propose infrastructure <br />investments that stay within the existing right of way <br />as much as possible. <br />Coburg Road <br />6 ½ <br />MILES <br />Coburg Road Corridor <br />22 | Executive Summary: MovingAhead Alternatives Analysis ReportJuly 15, 2019, Joint Work Session – Item1
