SCCO Meeting: Sidewalks, Bike Path, Green Space for Beaver-Hunsaker?

Posted on July 4, 2017 by Gary Haliski

The main subject for this Thursday’s monthly SCCO meeting is the Beaver- Hunsaker Corridor Plan.  Come to our meeting on Thursday, July 6 at 7 PM, and learn more about the many potential changes to Beaver and Hunsaker.  You may want to use information from this meeting to provide input to the county at a Wednesday, July 26 meeting.

The study:

  • identifies transportation improvements in the Hunsaker Lane/Beaver Street and Wilkes Corridors to improve the safety of these corridors
  • identifies cycling and walking opportunities.
  • anticipates a new bridge just to the north of the existing Beltline bridge which empties traffic onto Division Avenue and provides access to North Delta,
  • identifies potential changes in anticipation of a new LTD transfer station at the corner of Hunsaker and River Road.
  • In addition, the study has identified a possible multimodal path between Beaver Street and Admiral Street, giving walking and bicycle access to the north as far as Madison Middle School.

Can’t wait for the meeting or can’t attend?  The entire study and draft plan can be found at http://lanecounty.org/cms/One.aspx?portalId=3585881&pageId=8599845

Draft Beaver-Hunsaker Corridor Plan
Now available for public review and comment!

Over the past year, Lane County has been working with the City of Eugene, Lane Transit District, and Oregon Department of Transportation to develop transportation recommendations for the Beaver Street – Hunsaker Lane and Beaver Street – Wilkes Drive corridors that: provide convenient, comfortable, and safe transportation facilities for people walking, biking, riding, and driving; and minimize impacts to adjacent properties and the environment. The recommendations were shaped by technical analysis, policy considerations, and community input. The plan will enable the County to begin to seek funding sources for the design and construction of the recommended improvements.

View the plan on the Lane County webpage here
