• Address all high crash rate or potential high safety need locations (including som e bicy cle lane and/or sidewalk projects in areas of potential high risk). Total share of the 20-year improvem ent program = 20 percent. • Substantial improvem ents in alternative transpor tation m odes including sidewalks, bicy cle lanes and transit. During the first five y ears of the 20-y ear program , approxim ately $3 m illion of sidewalk im provem ents are proposed as part of the “Safe Routes to School” program . Other projects include urban street upgrades to add sidewalks and bicycle lanes (along with street reconstruction to add curbs and gutters), som e retrofit bicy cle lane and sidewalk projects along existing streets (with specific priorities to be refined by the proposed Bicy cle Advisory Com mittee), and som e transit bus stop im prove ment projects (approxim ately $45,000 per year which could fund 6 to 8 bus stop im provem ents each y ear). Total share of the 20-y ear improvem ent program = 14 percent (including 4 pe rcent for non-defined stand alone bicycle and sidewalk im provem ents, 2.5 percent for specific “safe route to school” projects, 1.5 percent for transit, and 6 percent for street upgrades). • A variety of other projects including: o Traffic signal com munications sy stem s to im prove traffic flow o Projects focused on access to developing industrial area to help stim ulate econom ic developm ent or im prove freight m obility o Portions of the basic street sy stem in the SE Medford TOD o Local m atch for federal funding to repair Medford’s structurally deficient bridges o More urban upgrades to bring form er county roads up to City street standards including curbs, gutters, sidewalks and bike lanes In addition to the Tier 1 (funded) projects, an additional $53 m illion of Tier 2 projects have been identified. These projects reflect identified im provem ent needs that are ty pically less urgent than those funded under Tier 1. Should additional im provem ent funding becom e available during the planning period, projects from the Tier 2 list can be m oved onto the Tier 1 list and im plem ented. As indicated previously , there is also a Tier 3 list of approxim ately $82 m illion representing project needs that are not anticipated to require m itigation within the 20-year planning period, projects which constitute a significant investm ent of resources for which no revenue source has been identified, or projects which require further refinem ent planning to dete rmine need, feasibility and optim al solutions.
