COMMITTEE FOR CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT
1. Public Involvement Plan Review for Franklin Blvd. national Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Study- Between May 2007 and March 2008 the City of Springfield led the Franklin Boulevard Study, which considered and evaluated improvements to Franklin Boulevard/McVey Highway in an area that extended
from Interstate-5 (I-5) to the west, the Springfield Bridges to the east, the Willamette River to the north, and Nugget Way to the south. This study identified potential alternative concepts for the proposed Franklin Boulevard Redevelopment (Franklin) project.
The City, in partnership with Lane Transit District and Oregon Department of Transportation, is now
preparing to conduct environmental analysis and documentation for the proposed Franklin project. This
public involvement plan (PIP) has been developed based on the assumption that this project will be classified as an Environmental Assessment (EA).
The overall goal of this PIP is to provide a framework for the City of Springfield to develop transportation improvements for Franklin Boulevard and McVey Highway between I-5 and the Franklin / McVey
intersection in partnership with Glenwood area stakeholders, community interest groups, relevant agencies, elected officials, interested individuals and parties, and those community members who are impacted by the overall project or who use the public transportation system in the project area. The PIP outlines an approach
to work with and engage these groups, provide for full consideration of public input and jurisdiction/agency coordination in decision-making, and assure compliance with NEPA public involvement requirements. (Dave Reesor)
