The City of Eugene has released a draft Pedestrian and <br />Bicycle Master Plan and is seeking the public’s guidance to set the course for the future <br />of Eugene’s walking and bicycling system. <br />This Plan provides the City of Eugene with the projects and policies necessary to <br />create a first-class city for bicycling and walking, reduce greenhouse gas emissions <br />from transportation and provide for a well-designed, integrated, safe and efficient multi- <br />modal transportation system. The Master Plan will serve as the pedestrian and bicycle <br />element of the city’s Transportation System Plan. <br />City staff will present a number of much-anticipated documents including the <br />draft pedestrian and bicycle system plan and draft policy recommendations. Each <br />component of the Plan was developed with significant public involvement and refined by <br />our dedicated Project Advisory Committee and Technical Advisory Committee. The <br />project team invites the public to review these materials at the open house and let us <br />know if we’re on the right track for Eugene’s new Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan. <br />The open house is scheduled for Monday, September 26, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. <br />at the Bascom and Tykeson Rooms in the downtown Eugene Public Library, 100 West <br />10th Avenue. <br />For those who cannot attend the open house, the draft plan and a short survey <br />are available online at www.eugenepedbikeplan.org and the public comment period <br />ends on October 14. The draft plan will be presented to the City Council on October 12. <br /># # # <br /> <br /> <br />Public Works Administration ● City of Eugene ● 101 E.
