Public Engagement
More than 1,600 responses were received through the Central Eugene in Motion surveys, stakeholder meetings, online mapping, the July 10 and November 19, 2019 Open Houses, and a series of focus groups with sub-area stakeholders.
Our online survey and mapping tool are now closed. The design team used the input to create the design alternatives. The survey results and public input results are now available, click below for information.

Project Background
As our greater downtown develops, it is important for Eugene’s transportation system to have safe and comfortable connections regardless if travel is by car, on foot, bike, bus, or personal mobility device.
The Central Eugene In Motion process explored planned and potential traffic changes with a focus on three key areas:
• Downtown on 8th Avenue
• Amazon to Riverfront
• Midtown Willamette Street
The intent of this process was to work with the community to identify existing transportation issues, explore ideas, and identify preferred design concepts for projects listed in the Eugene Transportation System Plan.
Possible changes to streets may include removing on-street parking, adding bike lanes, changing traffic controls, or reducing the number of travel lanes.
