What the public thinks of Franklin Boulevard today

I am pro roundabouts, trees, protected bike ways and sidewalks

I avoid Franklin Boulevard today because I get around town mostly by bike and on foot and the area’s current configuration feels inaccessible and unsafe. I’m excited about the planned multimodal transformation and how much more accessible, safe, pleasant, and all around better the area will become for everyone. I live 2-3 miles away and might actually consider visiting businesses and other destinations around here after the transformation. I support more efforts to facilitate safer multimodal transportation with roundabouts, BRT (and dedicated lanes), bike lanes, bump outs, wider connected sidewalks, protected multiuse paths, street trees, and more across town. Thanks for your work!

I would love to see Franklin completely removed from a car-centric style. It would be best-suited as a rapid transit hub with EmX and LTD lines being the most prominent and most important, then tree-lined bikeways being the most important individual transpotation, and then protected, shady walking areas. Cars should have 1 lane in each direction and be the least-prioritized, or, ideally, completely non-existent in exchange for faster, safer methods like EmX or possibly a future eTram line.

Guarded rails or medians for bikers. More shrubs and street art to enjoy and encourage walking and biking.

Worst street in Eugene by far. I wish I could bike on it, and I wish that the EmX was less bumpy/unpleasant. Needs more trees, slower cars, bike lanes, better bus lanes. If there are roundabouts, they should have a cutout for EmX to go straight through. If the bus had to go around a big roundabout with a constant sharp turn, I would never ride it again.

High urban heat centered around the eastern portion of Franklin, near the hotels and businesses (little to no trees)
