<br />May 2019 Investment Package Alternatives MovingAhead <br />2 Supplemental Refinement Report <br />In design workshops, the community developed multimodal corridor concepts that accommodate <br />people who walk, use a mobility device, bike, take the bus, and drive. <br />Two multimodal concepts and a No-Build (no action) option were developed for study: <br />• Lower cost investment options intended to improve safety, access, and transit service without <br />major capital costs, called Enhanced Corridor, and <br />• Higher cost investment options which included EmX service, LTD’s bus rapid transit service, and <br />greater investment in pedestrian, bicycle, sidewalk, and streetscape improvements. <br />• A No-Build option where, in the near term, the City and LTD would only make changes that are <br />already planned as part of other projects. <br />These mode options are described in more detail in Appendix A. On all of the corridors, except Martin <br />Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, the No-Build, Enhanced Corridor, and EmX options were studied. On the <br />Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard Corridor, the No-Build and Enhanced Corridor options were studied. <br />1.2.3 Studying the Multimodal Investment Concepts <br />The five corridors and their unique corridor concepts were studied and the findings were published in an <br />Alternatives Analysis (AA) Report in September 2018. Based on the technical analysis, the mode options <br />recommended for the investment packages and further study are summarized in Table 1.1. <br />Table 1.1 Recommendation on Corridor Alternatives to be Considered for Investment <br />Packages Based on Technical Analysis <br /> Mode Options <br />Corridor <br />Highway 99 River Road 30th Avenue to <br />LCC Coburg Road MLK, Junior <br />Boulevard <br />No-Build √ √ √ <br />Enhanced <br />Corridor √ √ √ √ √ <br />EmX √ √ √ √ <br />During fall 2018, the City of Eugene and LTD presented to the community the findings from the AA <br />Report (the beneficial and adverse effects of building the infrastructure upgrades and transit service <br />improvements along each corridor). Based on the MovingAhead project’s purpose and need, goals and <br />objectives a set of evaluation criteria were developed and used to aid in selecting recommended mode <br />options to build investment packages. In the months leading up to and following the publication of the <br />AA Report, the City and LTD undertook a robust outreach and engagement program to raise awareness <br />and inform people about the project, help people understand the key findings from the study, and <br />encourage the community to provide feedback. <br />A number of key themes emerged from the community feedback: <br />July 15, 2019, Joint Work Session – Item1
