EUGENE, Ore. -- The City of Eugene will be holding an open house Wednesday to provide information about the West 11th Avenue Corridor Study. It's scheduled to take place in the Bascom Room of the Eugene Public Library.

The study is an endeavor by the City to seek out short-term remedies for transportation problems in west Eugene. The development of the study follows removal of the West Eugene Parkway from area transportation plans.

The study takes a look at existing conditions in the corridor and identifies strategies to enhance travel through improvements to bicycle and pedestrian facilities, corridor safety, management of accesses, changes to traffic signal timing and intersection modification projects. If implemented, these strategies will yield improvements to safety and mobility in the corridor.
