Execution Copy <br />VL FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FRANKLIN/UO SEGMENT <br />Within two years after completion of the Project, subject to available funding, the City will initiate <br />a planning process to determine possible future improvements to that portion of the Project along Franklin <br />Boulevard. This scope of the planning process will be expanded to include the Franklin/Broadwaycorrldor <br />west to the Ferry Street Bridge ramps. The City will take the lead on the study, with LTD as an active <br />participant. The study will identify future improvements to the corridor, include a schedule for <br />implementation of the improvements, and propose a funding plan. Refinement and implementation of the <br />concepts identified in the study will be accomplished by separate intergovernmental agreement. <br />VIL DEVELOPMENT OF FUTURE BRT CORRIDORS <br />BRT is intended to be a complete system of corridor and neighborhood connector routes. LTD and <br />the City wish to develop the BRT system, including exclusive busways, with the implementation schedule <br />subject to the availability of funding. The parties anticipate that the BRT system will eventually include <br />approximately 43 miles of BRT corridor service within the City of Eugene, and neighborhood connector <br />service that provides at least as much coverage as provided by the current service. Elements of the <br />anticipated BRT system include a currently established goal of 80% exclusive transit right-of--way, transit <br />signal priority, prepaid fares, improved stops and stations, wider stop spacing, and specially designed <br />vehicles. <br />The City and LTD will collaborate to plan the sequence of BRT corridors to be developed within <br />the City and the criteria for future extensions of the BRT system. This process will involve staff analysis <br />resulting in a recommendation by the TAC and the BRT Policy Team. The recommendation will be <br />forwarded to the BRT Steering Committee, the Eugene Planning Commission, the Eugene City Council and <br />the LTD Board of Directors. Approval by the City Council and the LTD Board is a prerequisite to the <br />development of future BRT corridors in the City. <br />VIII.
