MovingAhead is focused on better connecting people to jobs, schools, shopping, recreation, and other activities by considering a range of transportation investments along key corridors to improve safety and livability for everyone. MovingAhead builds on community input and local planning projects like Envision Eugene, Eugene’s Transportation System Plan, and LTD’s Long-Range Transit Plan.
Based on community feedback the project explores options along five key corridors:
- Highway 99
- River Road
- 30th Avenue to Lane Community College
- Coburg Road
- Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard
In September 2018 we released the Alternatives Analysis Report. This evaluation process – part of established transportation planning practice and an important first step in securing federal funding – uses in-depth analyses to understand the trade-offs between different options along each of the five corridors and how they compare using a variety of criteria.
Based on community preferences and the technical analysis, we developed a range of proposed investment options bundled into packages, for all the corridors. We shared these investment package options with the community in March 2019.
Public input on these package options is helping us identify transportation investments that are needed on Highway 99, River Road, 30th Ave to LCC, Coburg Road, and MLK Blvd over the next 10 years. Eugene City Council and LTD Board of Directors will make a final decision on how to invest in these five key corridors over the next 10 years in late 2021 or early 2022.
