Meeting for new bridge from Green Acres Road to Beaver Street – June 21

Posted on June 17, 2016 by Gary Haliski

trafficjalm300wDo you love waiting at the flashing red lights,  just to enter Beltline for a short trip in stalled traffic to get to the Division or River Road exits?  Do you think a bridge that lets you stay off of Beltline would be a good solution?  Lane County and the city of Eugene are holding a meeting to get your feedback.  Here’s another request for feedback from Becky Taylor, Senior Transportation Planner at Lane County:

… “I also want to let you know about an upcoming public hearing before the Lane County and City of Eugene Planning Commissions. They will be hearing testimony on Eugene’s Transportation System Plan (TSP). The TSP is the city’s 20-year master plan that will create transportation policy and a project list, to guide future transportation decisions for the entire city. It also includes local adoption of the Beltline Facilities Plan, which I know many of you are interested in – regarding the new bridge that would connect Green Acres Road with Beaver Street. The public hearing information is as follows:
 
Joint Planning Commission Public Hearing – Eugene and Lane County
Tuesday, June 21st, 6:00 p.m.
Harris Hall, 125 E. 8th Avenue, Eugene

You can either testify or submit written testimony at the hearing. The commissions will not be taking action that night. They’ll need time to consider the comments. When they do act, it will be in the form of a recommendation to the Lane County Board of Commissioners and Eugene City Council, who ultimately make the decision. The Board and Council will also hold a public hearing before they act, so there will be more opportunities to comment in the future (likely September).

Still time to comment on Beaver-Hunsaker improvements

Posted on June 17, 2016 by Gary Haliski

We had a great turnout at last Wednesday’s workshop regarding Beaver-Hunsaker improvements.   If you did not get a chance to attend, you can still give input.  Here’s a request from Becky Taylor, County Senior Transportation Director, for input.

“It was so great to meet so many of you at the event yesterday!  Several of you were able to fill out a comment form at the meeting (thank you!) If you haven’t had a chance yet, attached is a fillable form. Please share this form with your friends. I’d like to get as much input as possible.

Hunsaker

First Draft for Improvements along Division

Over the coming weeks, I’ll be seeking additional feedback and compiling comments. Please don’t hesitate to email (becky.taylor@co.lane.or.us) or call me (541-682-6932). Over the summer, the project team will be considering ways to align the comments with the design. We will hold another public event to discuss the changes and our responses to your comments. I don’t have a date set yet, but it will likely be toward the end of summer.”
