The development of the study <br />follows removal of the West Eugene Parkway from area transportation plans. <br />The corridor study takes a look at existing conditions in the corridor and identifies <br />strategies to enhance travel through improvements to bicycle and pedestrian facilities, corridor <br />safety, management of accesses, changes to traffic signal timing and intersection modification <br />projects. If implemented, these strategies will yield improvements to safety and mobility in the <br />corridor. <br />Other long-term solutions will be needed to address increasing travel demand to and <br />through the corridor as the area’s population and employment continues to grow. The West <br />Eugene Collaborative (WEC) vision for a multi-way boulevard and the West Eugene EmX <br />Extension (WEEE) transit project are other efforts to identify long-term solutions to meet the <br />community’s transportation needs. <br /> <br /># # # <br /> <br /> <br />Public Works Administration ?
