Editor's Notes
- This was a time when the Eugene area was trying to figure out what it was going to become. If you read the newspapers from that time, you see that virtually every city Council meeting is touching on something related to what we would categorize as urban and regional infrastructure - consideration of telephone franchises, the railroad wanting to operate through this area, and, as we saw happening around the country at this time, there was a proposal for an electric streetcar. I found this editorial comment that was written on the eve of the city Council’s consideration of the electric streetcar proposal. “The die will be cast for or against the building of a city here in the acceptance or rejection of the proposal now pending before the council” - this captures the fundamental angst that community leaders at the time were wrestling with - the essential questions underlying long-range planning - “what will become of us?” and “how can we make things better for our children and grandchildren?”
- In 2001 the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area adopted the RTP, which identified BRT as the preferred transit strategy for the 20-year planning horizon A 61-mile system of 12 BRT corridors BRT was a cutting-edge strategy at the time and LTD is continually looked to as a leader in implementing BRT We have started construction on our 3rd corridor – due to open 2017
- With this new approach to corridor planning – system level, multi-modal, and integrated with land use – the conversation about bus rapid transit begins to shift. LTD is no longer asking the community “How can BRT fit into a single corridor?” MovingAhead is asking the community “What role does increased transit play in realizing the vision for each corridor and the community as a whole?” This approach allows a comprehensive conversation that includes how the corridors function for the people who live there, work there, meet friends, and shop there – and the people who are traveling through on their way somewhere else.
- The multi-modal context allows us to plan for the needs of all users of the transportation system at the same time.
- Integrated land use and transportation Planning Both Eugene and Springfield envision growing more compactly in centers and along corridors as a primary way to manage population and job growth. In Eugene, redevelopment strategies for housing, commercial services and employment depends on an efficient buildout of the regional bus rapid transit system. The converse is also true – to plan for effective transportation investments, the land use vision provides the context for where people are traveling to and through in our community. A well planned transportation system provides safe and accessible transportation for everyone while supporting great neighborhoods, healthy people, and a healthy economy.
