Transportation <br /> The majority of the projects in the CIP come from the updated TransPlan. Other plans and <br /> policies which provide direction for transportation projects include the Bicycle Master Plan, <br /> the Central Area Transportation Study (CATS), the. Arterial-Col lector Street Plan, neighborhood <br /> and local area refinement plans, the adopted Growth Management Policies, other City Council <br /> goals and policies, and facility management programs such as the Pavement Management and <br /> Sidewalk programs. <br /> Project Categories <br /> Transportation projects are described in one of three ways: <br /> 1. Preservation -These projects preserve the investment of existing improved <br /> transportation facilities where routine preventative maintenance activities are no longer <br /> cost-effective. These projects typically include overlays and; in some cases, <br /> reconstruction of existing streets and alleys. This category also includes traffic signal <br /> .and street Light preservation. These projects are funded almost entirely by the Road <br /> _ Fund. <br /> 2. Upgrades and Capacity Enhancement -This category includes most of the proposed <br /> transportation improvements throughout the City. Projects in this category typically <br /> involve the following: <br /> • ..Upgrading substandard arterial or collector streets to City standards by <br /> reconstructing the roadway and adding curbs, sidewalks, and, in most cases, bike <br /> lanes; <br /> • Traffic calming measures on existing neighborhood streets; and <br /> • Safety and capacity enhancements such as traffic signals, street lights, sidewalk <br /> <br /> ` access ramps and intersection improvements. <br /> Funding for these projects generally comes from a combination of the Road Fund, the <br /> Special Assessment Capital Fund (from assessments to adjacent property owners) and <br /> the System Development Capital Projects Fund. Since no road funds are available for <br /> projects in this CIP, the only projects proposed are those that do not require a Road <br /> Fund investment. <br /> 3. New. Capita{ Facilities -This category includes new streets built by the City or by <br /> " private developers and new bicycle paths. Funds for this category come from the <br /> System Development Capital Projects Fund, Special Assessment Capital Projects Fund, <br /> and in some cases, grants from other agencies (State, Federal, County, etc.). <br /> City of Eugene 2002-2007 Capital Improvement Program <br /> Page 57 <br /> <br />
