Coburg Road Corridor
The City of Eugene has been awarded grant funding to develop a multimodal plan for Coburg Road from Ferry Street Bridge to Crescent Avenue that makes the street work better for people driving, walking, biking and taking the bus, enhances safety, reduces congestion, and increases reliability of bus service. The exact timeline of this study is to be determined.
Additionally, a Coburg Road repaving project will begin construction in Summer 2024. The paving project will improve the street surface and upgrade pedestrian curb ramps between Ferry Street Bridge and I-105.

LTD System Review Project
The LTD System Review project identifies opportunities for improving fixed route service in Eugene and Springfield as well as rural route service to other communities in Lane County. Throughout 2024, the project team has been conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the fixed route network and has worked with the community to identify service improvement priorities.
Draft short-term service recommendations (Spring 2024) include creating high frequency bus service on the River Road Corridor (between Eugene Station and Santa Clara Station) as well as creating high frequency bus service on the Coburg Road Corridor (between Eugene Station and Harlow Road).
LTD staff will bring recommendations to LTD’s Board of Directors for consideration of adoption in October 2024.
