BACKGROUND Council Action History The Central Area Transportation Study (CATS) was most recently adopted in 1993 as the Central Eugene Parking and Traffic Circulation Plan. On April 9 2001, as key next steps to implement the Greater Downtown Vision, the City Council initiated updates to both the 1984 Downtown Plan and the 1993 CATS. On December 1, 2003, the City Council held a work session to consider the Draft June 2003 Central Area Transportation Study. On January 26, 2004, the City Council held a public hearing to gather testimony regarding the Draft June 2003 Central Area Transportation Study. On March 8, 2004, the City Council held a work session to deliberate testimony of the January 26, 2004, public hearing regarding the Draft June 2003 Central Area Transportation Study. Policy Issues Should the 1993 Central Transportation Study be updated for consistency with the Eugene Downtown Plan and to include the "Great Streets" concept?
