Board agrees to invite BEST to explain Franklin Boulevard outreach and possible River Road engagement
Summary
Members recommended inviting representatives from BEST (Better Eugene Springfield Transportation) to explain their Franklin Boulevard outreach and to discuss whether River Road should be included in corridor outreach; safety on River Road was suggested as a public hook for engagement.
Chair reported contact by BEST (Better Eugene Springfield Transportation) about outreach on Franklin Boulevard and the possibility of expanding outreach to River Road. Committee member F recommended inviting BEST representatives to both a board meeting and a general meeting so the community can provide feedback and learn specifics about proposed corridor work.
Members discussed using a focused approach — for example, highlighting safety statistics on River Road — to engage neighbors and drive attendance. The Chair and other board members noted prior controversy when corridor topics were dropped from the neighborhood plan and said inviting BEST for an informational session could help clarify goals, timelines and community input opportunities.
